Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The formula and name of the conjugate acid of hydrogen sulfate ion have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The acid is involved in the release of a proton whereas a base is involved in acceptance of an
Conjugate acid: The substance that donates as well as releases a proton in a
Bronsted–Lowry acid transfer a proton and form base as the other compound can accept a proton. This is called conjugate acid-base pair. In pair of conjugate acid and base, the acid form is protonated and the base form lost the proton.
Every base has conjugate acid. They are related by loss and gain of proton.
The expression for base and conjugate acid is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula and name of the conjugate acid of water have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula and name of the conjugate acid of ammonia have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The formula and name of the conjugate acid of pyridine have to be determined
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- You are asked to determine whether an unknown white solid is acidic or basic. You also need to say whether the acid or base is weak or strong. You are given the molar mass of the solid and told that it is soluble in water. Describe an experiment that you can perform to obtain the desired characteristics of the white solid.arrow_forwardWhen perchloric acid ionizes, it makes the perchlorate ion, ClO4. Draw the Lewis electron dot symbol for the perchlorate ion.arrow_forwardTetrahydrofuran has the structure When a proton becomes bonded to tetrahydrofuran the result is ___________________________ In this structure the oxygen atom owns one electron from each of ____ shared pairs and two electrons from ____ unshared pair. The formal charge on the oxygen atom is ____. The Lewis structure for the conjugate acid of tetrahydrofuran is ___________________________arrow_forward
- a Write a net ionic equation to show that hypochlorous acid behaves as a Brnsted-Lowry acid in water. b The substance triethanolamine is a weak nitrogen-containing base, like ammonia. Write a net ionic equation to show that triethanolamine, C6H15O3N, behaves as a Brnsted-Lowry base in water.arrow_forwardWrite a formula for the conjugate base formed when each of the following behaves as a Brnsted acid: a. HSO3 b. HPO42 c. HClO3 d. CH3NH3+ e. H2C2O4arrow_forwardAluminum chloride, AlCl3, behaves more as a molecular compound than an ionic one. This is illustrated in its ability to form a fourth covalent bond with a chloride ion: AlCl3+ClAlCl4. From the Lewis diagram of the aluminum chloride molecule and the electron configuration of the chloride ion, show that this is an acidbase reaction in the Lewis sense, and identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. Aluminum chloride is a white solid at room conditions, although it is typically manufactured mixed with some yellow ironIII chloride. Its appearance is that of an ionic compound.arrow_forward
- The weak base, CIO (hypochlorite ion), is used in the form of NaCIO as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. What are the concentrations of HCIO and OH and the pH of a 0.015 M solution of NaCIO?arrow_forwardArsenic acid (H3AsO4) is a moderately weak triprotic acid. Write equations showing its stepwise dissociation. Which of the three anions formed in these reactions will be the strongest Brnsted base? Which will be the weakest Brnsted base? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardAluminum chloride, AlCl3, reacts with trimethyl-amine, N(CH3)3. What would you guess to be the product of this reaction? Explain why you think so. Describe the reaction in terms of one of the acid base concepts. Write an appropriate equation to go with this description. Which substance is the acid according to this acidbase concept? Explain.arrow_forward
