Chapter 14, Problem 14QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Conjugate partner for CN has to be given along with the name.

Concept Introduction:

Brønsted-Lowry acid is the one which can donate H+ ion to other substances.  It can also be said as proton donors.  Brønsted-Lowry base is the one which can accept H+ ion from other substances.  It can also be said as proton acceptors.  In order to be a Brønsted-Lowry base, an unshared pair of electrons must be present on molecule or the ion.

Difference between conjugate acid-base pair is H+ ion.  For a Brønsted-Lowry acid, the conjugate base has fewer H+ and for Brønsted-Lowry base, the conjugate acid has more H+.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given formula is CN.  This is a Brønsted-Lowry base, as this does not have H+ ions.  When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from water resulting in formation of OH(aq) along with conjugate acid.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    CN+H2O(l)HCN(aq)+OH(aq)

Conjugate partner of CN is HCN.  The formed conjugate partner is named as hydrogen cyanide.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Conjugate partner for SO42 has to be given along with the name.

Concept Introduction:

Refer part (a).

(b)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Given formula is SO42.  This is a Brønsted-Lowry base, as this does not have H+ ions.  When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from water resulting in formation of OH(aq) along with conjugate acid.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    SO42+H2O(l)HSO4(aq)+OH(aq)

Conjugate partner of SO42 is HSO4.  The formed conjugate partner is named as hydrogen sulfate.

Explanation of Solution

Given formula is HS.  This can act as both Brønsted-Lowry acid and Brønsted-Lowry base.

Conjugate partner when HS acts as Brønsted-Lowry acid:

When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from acid to the water resulting in formation of H3O+(aq) along with conjugate base.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    HS+H2O(l)S2(aq)+H3O+(aq)

Conjugate partner of HS is S2.  The formed conjugate partner is named as sulfide ion.

Conjugate partner when HS acts as Brønsted-Lowry base:

When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from water to the base resulting in formation of OH(aq) along with conjugate acid.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    HS+H2O(l)H2S(aq)+OH(aq)

Conjugate partner of HS is H2S.  The formed conjugate partner is named as hydrosulfuric acid.

Explanation of Solution

Given formula is HSO3.  This can act as both Brønsted-Lowry acid and Brønsted-Lowry base.

Conjugate partner when HSO3 acts as Brønsted-Lowry acid:

When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from acid to the water resulting in formation of H3O+(aq) along with conjugate base.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    HSO3+H2O(l)SO32(aq)+H3O+(aq)

Conjugate partner of HSO3 is SO32.  The formed conjugate partner is named as sulfite ion.

Conjugate partner when HSO3 acts as Brønsted-Lowry base:

When this is added to water, a proton is transferred from water to the base resulting in formation of OH(aq) along with conjugate acid.  This can be represented in chemical equation as,

    HSO3+H2O(l)H2SO3(aq)+OH(aq)

Conjugate partner of HSO3 is H2SO3.  The formed conjugate partner is named as sulfurous acid.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Conjugate partner for HCOOH has to be given along with the name.

Concept Introduction:

Refer part (a).

(f)

Expert Solution
