Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Bronsted acid and Bronsted base has to be identified in the reaction given below.
Concept Introduction:
Proton donor is referred as Bronsted acid while proton acceptor is referred as Bronsted base. In a reaction, where a proton is alone transferred from one species to another species is known as Proton-transfer reaction.
Generally acid donates proton to form conjugate base. As donation of proton takes place, the conjugate base will have fewer hydrogen ions than that is present in acid. Base accepts protons to form conjugate acid. As proton is accepted, the conjugate acid will have more hydrogen ions than that of the base from which it is formed.
(b)
Interpretation:
Conjugate base and conjugate acid has to be identified in the reaction given below.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).

- Follow the directions of Question 19 for the following acids: (a) hypochlorous acid (b) formic acid, HCHO2 (c) acetic acid, HC2H3O2 (d) hydrobromic acid (e) sulfurous acidarrow_forwardHydrogen, H2S, and sodium acetate, NaCH3CO2 are mixed in water. Using Table 16.2, write a balanced equation for the acid-base reaction that could in principle, occur. Does the equilibrium lie toward the products or the reactants?arrow_forwardOne half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forward
