Question

For each of the following reactions, determine which species are conjugate acid-base pairs, and whether the species on the left or those on the right are favored by the reaction (use Table 15.2). Explain your answers. NH_4^+1 + HCO_3^-1 NH_3 + H_2CO_3 Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: Species Favored (R or L): Explanation: CN^-1 + H_2O HCN + OH^-1 Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: Species Favored (R or L): Explanation: CN^-1 + HCO_3^-1 HCN + CO_3^2 Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: Species Favored (R or L): Explanation:

Explanation / Answer

a)

conjugate acid-base pair ;

NH4+,NH3

HCO3- , H2CO3

FAVOURED : R

Because NH3 is base, H2CO3 is acid . so that gives formation of salt

b)
conjugate acid-base pair ;

CN-,HCN

H2O,OH-

FAVOURED : R

Because of acid-base reaction

C)

conjugate acid-base pair ;

CN-,HCN

HCO3-,CO3^2-

FAVOURED : R

Because of acid-base reaction
