Answer 3

Also,
Give the conjugate base for each of the following acids:
a) HNO3
b) HCOOH
c) C6H5COOH
d) CH3NH3+

Is it:
a) NO3-
b) COOH-
C) C6H5COO-
d) CH3NH2-?

Answer 4

Most look good to me from what I know on this.
The only one I see is (d) on the second set. You went from CH3NH3+ to a CH3NH2- , which is 2 charges taken off +1-2=-1 for one hydrogen omitted

Answer 5

Thank you. So it should be CH3NH2+?

Answer 6

I ment CH3NH2^-1

Answer 7

I mean, it started positive 1. CH3NH3+. You correctly omitted the H for CH3NH2, but you are supposed to go from +1 to 0 charge (+1, one proton removed, to +1-1 =0) . CH3NH2

Answer 8

Oh ok I got you. Thanks so much.

Answer 9

Can you check one more for me?

Answer 10

I will open a new ? so I can give you another medal.

Answer 11

Sure. Sorry, just one more I should point out.
I think HCOO- would be the correct way to write that base rather than COOH-. The former is written more like other acids as the latter would be something slightly different (carboxylic group).

Answer 12

Ok. Will correct that. Thanks so much.

Answer 13

huh?
