(a)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the most acidic species that can exist in significant concentration in any solvent is the conjugate acid of the solvent is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An acid is a substance from which a proton can be removed and a base is a substance that can remove proton from an acid. In a reversible reaction, the acid releases a proton to the base, leaving the anion and positive charge species. In this way, they form acid- base pair, which is known as conjugated acid-base pair.
