a) identify the conjugate acid-base pairs for the following reaction: H2O (aq) + CN- (aq)--->HCN (aq)+OH- (aq) b) give the conjugate acid of HSO4- and PO4 -2 c) give the conjugate base of HCLO4 and H3O+
Conjugate acid - base pair is the one which has a difference of only one proton.
(a) the conjugate acid - base pairs are,
H2O , OH -
CN - , HCN
(b) COnjugate acid of
HSO4- is H2SO4
PO42- is HPO4-
(c) Conjugate base of
HClO4 is ClO4-
H3O+ is H2O
