Question

Can anyone confirm this is correct for the reaction between CH3NH2(aq) and HCL(aq)? CH3NH2 (aq) +H30^+(aq) ----> H2O(l) + HCH3NH2^+

Explanation / Answer

no CH3NH2(aq) + H20(l) --> CH3NH3+(aq) + (OH) aq A conjugate base of an acid is defined as the product that is formed when an acid loses its REPLACEABLE hydrogens as protons. Similarly, a conjugate acid is the product that is formed when a base accepts the released hydrogen ions. Eg: HNO3 [l] + H2O [l] NO3 (-) [aq] + H3O(+) [aq] in this case, HNO3 loses its hydrogen and forms NO3 (-) . Thus NO3 (-) is the conjugate case of HNO3 also, H2O accepts the H+ and forms H3O(+), thus, H3O(+) is the conjugate acid of H2O . In your case, CH3NH2(aq) accepts the released H+ from H2O thus forming CH3NH3(+) which is the conjugate acid of CH3NH2.
