Interpretation:The conjugate acid base pairs present in the equation
Concept Introduction:An acid and base pair with the gap of one proton(presence or absence) is called a conjugate acid-base pair.
a.

Answer to Problem 8A
HF,F- and H3O+,H2O are the two conjugate acid base pairs in the reaction where HF and H3O+ are the acids and F- and H2O are the bases.
Explanation of Solution
HF,F- have a proton difference of 1 with HF being an acid and F- being the Lewis base.
H3O+,H2O have a proton difference of 1 with H3O+ being an acid and H2O being the Lewis base. So both of them can be considered conjugate acid-base pairs.

Answer to Problem 8A
HCN,CN- and H2O,OH- are the two conjugate acid base pairs in the reaction where HCN and H2O are the acids and CN- and OH- are the bases.
Explanation of Solution
HCN,CN- have a proton difference of 1 with HCN being an acid and CN- being the Lewis base.
H2O,OH- have a proton difference of 1 with H2O being an acid and OH- being the Lewis base. So both of them can be considered conjugate acid-base pairs.

Answer to Problem 8A
H2CO3,HCO3- and H2O,OH- are the two conjugate acid base pairs in the reaction where H2CO3 and H2O are the acids and HCO3- and OH- are the bases.
Explanation of Solution
H2CO3,HCO3- have a proton difference of 1 with H2CO3 being an acid and HCO3- being the Lewis base.
H2O,OH- have a proton difference of 1 with H2O being an acid and OH- being the Lewis base. So both of them can be considered conjugate acid-base pairs.
