Question

nswer questions a-c about the Bronsted acid-base reaction below using the identifying letters A-D below ea terest are: water(pKa-15.7), and ethylammonium ion(pKa -10.8). H2 CH3 NH2 HOH ethylammonium hydroxide ethylamine water The stronger acid is A ) Its conjugate base is b ) The species that predominate at equilibrium are (two letters, e.g. ac) Answer questions a-c about the Bronsted acid-base reaction below using the identifying letters A-D be A table of pKa values for various organic and inorganic acids can be found in the references section. -CH3 +HOH methane hydroxide methide water a) The weaker acid is b) Its conjugate base is c) The species that predominate at equilibrium are (two letters, e.g. AC)

Explanation / Answer

a) The stronger acid is A because it is having a lower pKa value which means more acidic in nature.

b) Its conjugate base is C because it can accept the proton released by the conjugate acid D.

c) Equilibrium will favor towards the more pKa value showing species. hence, the AD will predominate at equilibrium.

a) the weaker acid is A methane.

b) Its conjugate base is C methide.

c) D will predominant at equilibrium.
