Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct conjugated acid and base part should be identified given the three different reactions.
Concept introduction:
An acid was defined as a substance whose turns blue litmus to red, water solution tastes sour and neutralizes the bases.
A base was defined as a substance whose turns red litmus to blue, aqueous solution tasted bitter and neutralizes acids.
Bronsted –Lowry conjugate acid-Base pairs:
When an acid is dissolved in water, the acid
