Chapter 3, Problem
The reaction just described is reversible. Deprotonation of the conjugate acid of an organic base by water provides another example of simultaneous making and breaking of sigma bonds. Thus, in the deprotonation of anilinium ion by water, the base is water, which has unshared electrons on the ________ atom. The acid is ________ ion. A pair of ________ electrons on the oxygen atom of water is pushed toward the ________ atom. Simultaneously, the pair of ________ electrons between the hydrogen and ________ atom of the anilinium ion is pushed toward the ________ atom. Thus, the oxygen- ________ sigma bond is made and a hydrogen- ________ sigma bond is broken. The nitrogen atom, which possessed a positive charge, is now ________, and the oxygen atom, which was neutral, now possesses a formal ________ charge.

Write these reactions as proton-transfer reactions. Label which reactant is the acid and which is the base, which product is the conjugate base of the original acid, and which is the conjugate acid of the original base. In addition, write Lewis structures for each reactant and product and use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons in reaction.
Q.) H2O + NH4+ -----> H3O1 + NH3
In a Bronsted acid-base reaction, the stronger acid reacts with the stronger base to produce a weaker acid and a weaker base. Thus, whether a reaction “goes” or “does not go” can be used to determine the relative strength of the Bronsted acids and bases in the reaction. From the data below, determine the order of the strengths of the three Bronsted acids.
Reaction 1: NH4 + + (CH3)3N → (CH3)3NH+ + NH3 goes
Reaction 2: H2TeO3 + (CH3)3N → (CH3)3NH+ + HTeO3 - goes
Reaction 3: NH4 + + HTeO3 - → H2TeO3 + NH3 does not go
From the following options which one best describes why the acidity of the solution is important for the acid H2S group?
Acid keeps the [S2-] concentration low so that only the acid group precipitates
Acid precipitates out other cations but leaves the acid group in solution
Acidity makes the H2S dissociate into H+ and S2- more easily
None of the following since the acidity isn't important, the name implies all the actions are acidic
