Question

Which of the following is a bronsted-lowry acid?
Which of the following is a conjugated base?
In the chemical equation under H3O is a/an?


HCL+H2O right arrow H3O + Cl

Answer 1

Bronsted-Lowry acids donate \(H^+\), and bases accept them.

In the equation above HCl is the acid and \(H_2O\) is the base.

the conjugate base (note that conjugated and conjugate is not the same thing; the term "conjugated" relates to delocalization of electrons) and conjugate acid are present in the products side.

\(HCl+H_2O \rightarrow \color{red}{H_3O^+ + Cl^-}\)

They have the same definition but they are related to the previous substances.

For example, \(H_2O\) was the base, but not it's \(H_3O^+\) and will act as an acid, because of that \(H^+\) that can dissociate, so it's the conjugate acid.

Got it thank you so much!

no problem !
