Write the dissociation reaction for the following acids in water. Use the appropriate arrow symbols. Label the acid, base , conjugate acid and conjugate base for each:
HCl(hydrochloic acid)
C6H6COOH (benzoic acid)
HCl dissolved in water dissociates to give Cl- and H3O+. Here HCl is an acide and the water that it interacts with is a base and the Cl- formed is the conjugate base of HCl and H3O+ the conjugate acid of H3O+.
Benzoic acid on the other hand is a weak acid and it dissociates partially into its congugate base in water. Following thr same analogie given above
C6H6COOH + H2O C6H6COO- + H3O+
Acid base Conjugate base Conjugate acid
of benzoic acid of water
