Question

Write the formula for the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate base for each of the following acids: HNO3 H2O HSO4- NH3 H2SO4
Then write the formula for the conjugate acid for each of the following bases: HN2- HSO4- OH- NH3 H2O
Write the formula for the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate base for each of the following acids: HNO3 H2O HSO4- NH3 H2SO4
Then write the formula for the conjugate acid for each of the following bases: HN2- HSO4- OH- NH3 H2O
HNO3 H2O HSO4- NH3 H2SO4
Then write the formula for the conjugate acid for each of the following bases: HN2- HSO4- OH- NH3 H2O

Explanation / Answer

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory :

- A conjugate base is a species formed when the corresponding acid looses a proton.

- A conjugate acid is a species formed when the corresponding base accepts a proton.

a) The conjugate bases for the given acids are:

HNO3 ----- NO3-

H2O ------- OH-

HSO4- ---- SO42-

NH3 -------- NH2-

H2SO4 ----- HSO4-

b) The conjugate acid for the given bases are:

HN2- ------- N2H2

HSO4- ------ H2SO4

OH- ---------- H2O

NH3 ---------- NH4+

H2O ---------- H3O+
