ANSWER:

Solution 36P :

Step 1:

Here, we have to write the formula for the conjugate base of each acid.

The Bronsted-Lowry defines acids as proton (H+) donors and bases as proton (H+) acceptors.

A conjugate base and acid pair always differs by a proton. A conjugate base is one that is formed when the proton is donated by the acid.

We know :

1. All strong Acids have a weak conjugate Base and

2. All strong Bases have a weak conjugate Acid
