ANSWER:
Solution 38P :
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
