Chapter 16.1, Problem 16.1.2SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The species that do not have a conjugate base from the given species has to be identified

Concept Information:

When a Bronsted acid donates a proton, what remains of the acid is known as a conjugate base; when a Bronsted base accepts a proton, the newly formed protonated species is known as a conjugate acid.  This can be given by the below equation as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

Addition of proton to a species gives its conjugate acid whereas removal of proton from a species gives its conjugate base.
