Problem: Consider the reaction below.HI + H2O → H3O+ + I -Which is an acid-conjugate base pair?
FREE Expert Solution
We have to determine which of the species make up an acid-conjugate base pair.
Conjugate acids and bases are a part of the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.
- This theory is based on the transfer of protons.
- An acid is a proton donor.
- An acid gains a negative charge by the loss of a proton.
- The specie formed after the loss of a proton from an acid is called its conjugate base.
