Solution: Consider the reaction below.HI + H2O → H3O+ + I -Which is an acid-conjugate base pair?

Solution: Consider the reaction below.HI + H2O → H3O+ + I -Which is an acid-conjugate base pair?

Problem

Consider the reaction below.

HI + H2O → H3O+ + I -

Which is an acid-conjugate base pair?

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.
