Chapter 2, Problem 2.70P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Name and formula for the acid derived from hydrogen sulfate anion should be given.

Concept introduction:In Bronsted-Lowry concept, acid is a substance that donates protons $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\text{ions}\right)$ . Base is a substance that is proton $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\text{ions}\right)$ acceptor. This acid, and base definition can be explained by an equilibrium reaction.

The reaction required to define the acid, and base definition is as follows:

  $\text{HA+}\text{B}\text{}\rightleftharpoons {\text{A}}^{\text{-}}\text{+}{\text{BH}}^{\text{+}}$

Where,

• Acid is symbolized as $\text{HA}$ .
• Base is symbolized as $\text{B}$ .
• Conjugate base of acid is symbolized as ${\text{A}}^{-}$ .
• Conjugate acid of base is symbolized as ${\text{BH}}^{+}$ .

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Name and formula for the acid derived from ${\text{IO}}_{\text{3}}^{-}$ anion should be given.

Concept introduction:In Bronsted-Lowry concept, acid is a substance that donates protons $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\text{ions}\right)$ . Base is a substance that is proton $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\text{ions}\right)$ acceptor. This acid, and base definition can be explained by an equilibrium reaction.

The reaction required to define the acid, and base definition is as follows:

  $\text{HA+}\text{B}\text{}\rightleftharpoons {\text{A}}^{\text{-}}\text{+}{\text{BH}}^{\text{+}}$

Where,

• Acid is symbolized as $\text{HA}$ .
• Base is symbolized as $\text{B}$ .
• Conjugate base of acid is symbolized as ${\text{A}}^{-}$ .
• Conjugate acid of base is symbolized as ${\text{BH}}^{+}$ .

c)
