Chapter 16, Problem 13QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The conjugate base for the acid should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Acid is defined as a substance that gives hydrogen ion/s in the aqueous solution. Similarly, base is a substance that gives hydroxide ions in the aqueous solution. When a acid gives its hydrogen ion, conjugate base is formed and when a base gives its hydroxide ion, conjugate acid is formed.

For example, if HA is an acid, the reaction for formation of conjugate base will be as follows:

$\text{HA}\to {\text{H}}^{\text{+}}{\text{+A}}^{-}$

Here, ${\text{A}}^{-}$ is conjugate base.

Similarly, if BOH is a base, the reaction for formation of conjugate acid will be as follows:

$\text{BOH}\to {\text{B}}^{\text{+}}{\text{+OH}}^{-}$

Here, ${\text{B}}^{\text{+}}$ is conjugate acid.

Thus, a conjugate base can accept hydrogen ion and conjugate base can accept hydroxide ion.
