Write the formula for the conjugate acid of each base.(a) NH3(b) CIO4?(c) HSO4?(d) CO32?

Solution 37P :

Step 1:

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

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 acid is an acid that is formed when the proton is accepted by the base.

We know :

1. All strong Acids have a weak conjugate Base and

2. All strong Bases have a weak conjugate Acid
