Interpretation:
Acid-base reaction between propanoic acid and ammonia has to be written and each of the acid-base and conjugates has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry acid outlined the definition of acids that donate
In accordance with Bronsted definition, the most usual type of acid-base reaction involves lone pair of base that reaches out for an acidic proton. Once deprotonation has occurred species assumes a negative charge and is referred to as the conjugate base of acid and other species with a positive charge as a result of proton acceptance is termed conjugate acid of given base. For example;
The strength of conjugate acid-base pairs is inversely related to each other; thus strong acid has a weak and strong base has weak conjugate counterparts and vice-versa.
