Chapter 6, Problem 6A.10E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given reaction is between a Bronsted acid and Bronsted base has to be classified and also the identification of acid and base has to be done.

    $\text{KOH}(aq)+{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{I}(aq)\to {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}(aq)+\text{KI}(aq)$

Concept Introduction:

Proton donor is referred as Bronsted acid while proton acceptor is referred as Bronsted base.  In a reaction, where a proton is alone transferred from one species to another species is known as Proton-transfer reaction.

Generally acid donates proton to form conjugate base.  As donation of proton takes place, the conjugate base will have fewer hydrogen ions than that is present in acid.  Base accepts protons to form conjugate acid.  As proton is accepted, the conjugate acid will have more hydrogen ions than that of the base from which it is formed.
