Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Mechanism has to be shown for the given acid-base reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Mechanism is the representation of telling how the reaction proceeds and which bond gets broken and which bond is formed. For writing mechanisms, curved arrows are used. These arrows are the same used for representing resonance structures. While showing mechanisms, we are allowed to break single bonds also. This is not allowed while drawing resonance structures. The octet rule should never be violated. This means that the second row elements cannot have more than four bonds.
For representation of mechanism involved in acid-base reaction, there are always two arrows. One is from the base which attacks the proton and the second is from the bond that connects the proton to the atom where it is going. All arrows have a tail and head.

Answer to Problem 3.39P
The mechanism of given acid-base reaction is,
Explanation of Solution
Given acid-base reaction is,
First step is identify the base. In the above acid-base reaction, the base is the one which carries negative charge. To show mechanism for the given acid-base reaction, one arrow is drawn from the base to the proton and other arrow is drawn from the bond that is losing a proton to the atom where it is going.
The mechanism can be represented as,
The mechanism for the given acid-base reaction was shown.
