- For each conjugate acid-base pair, identify the first species as an acid or a base and the second species as its conjugate acid or base. In addition, draw Lewis structures for each species, showing all valence electrons and any formal charge. (a) HCOOH HCOO-arrow_forwardWhich is the stronger base, (CH3)3N or H2BO3− and why?arrow_forwardBenzoic acid (C6H5COOH) and aniline (C6H5NH2) areboth derivatives of benzene.
