Chapter 10.2, Problem 10.6P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stronger base from given pair should be identified.

Concept introduction:

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Acids}$: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry acid}\text{.}$

Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.

Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Base}$: If a species receives one proton, then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry base}\text{.}$

Strong Base: Bases that has strong attraction towards protons and accepts readily. Strong base forms weaker conjugated acid.

Weak Base: Bases that has little affinity towards protons. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.

If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
