Chapter 14, Problem 17QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the reactants, acid and base has to be identified and also in the product, conjugate acid and conjugate base has to be identified in the given reaction.

    HS(aq)+H2O(l)H2S(aq)+OH(aq)

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.

When an acid donates a proton, the species formed from acid is known as conjugate base.  When a base accepts a proton from acid, the species formed from the base is known as conjugate acid.

Explanation of Solution

Given reaction is,

    HS(aq)+H2O(l)H2S(aq)+OH(aq)

In the above equation, water present in the reactant side acts as an acid and donates a proton to HS.  Therefore, water is an acid and HS is a base.  The species formed from water by donation of proton is hydroxide ion.  The species formed from HS by accepting a proton is dihydrogen sulfide.  Therefore, hydroxide ion is a conjugate base and dihydrogen sulfide is a conjugate acid.  This can be represented as,

    HS:baseH2O: acidH2S: conjugate acidOH:conjugate base

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the reactants, acid and base has to be identified and also in the product, conjugate acid and conjugate base has to be identified in the given reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Given reaction is,

    S2(aq)+NH4+(aq)NH3(g)+HS(aq)

In the above equation, ammonium ion present in the reactant side acts as an acid and donates a proton to S2.  Therefore, ammonium ion acts as an acid and S2 acts as a base.  The species formed from ammonium ion by donation of proton is ammonia gas.  The species formed from S2 by accepting a proton is HS.  Therefore, HS is a conjugate acid and ammonia is a conjugate base.  This can be represented as,

    S2:baseNH4+: acidHS: conjugate acidNH3:conjugate base

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the reactants, acid and base has to be identified and also in the product, conjugate acid and conjugate base has to be identified in the given reaction.

Explanation of Solution

Given reaction is,

    HCO3(aq)+HSO4(aq)H2CO3(aq)+SO42(aq)

In the above equation, HSO4 ion present in the reactant side acts as an acid and donates a proton to HCO3.  Therefore, HSO4 ion acts as an acid and HCO3 acts as a base.  The species formed from HSO4 ion by donation of proton is SO42 ion.  The species formed from HCO3 by accepting a proton is H2CO3.  Therefore, H2CO3 is a conjugate acid and SO42 is a conjugate base.  This can be represented as,

    HCO3:baseHSO4: acidH2CO3: conjugate acidSO42:conjugate base

Explanation of Solution

Given reaction is,

    NH3(aq)+NH2(aq)NH2(aq)+NH3(aq)

In the above equation, NH3 present in the reactant side acts as an acid and donates a proton to NH2.  Therefore, NH3 ion acts as an acid and NH2 acts as a base.  The species formed from NH3 ion by donation of proton is NH2 ion.  The species formed from NH2 by accepting a proton is NH3.  Therefore, NH3 is a conjugate acid and NH2 is a conjugate base.  This can be represented as,
