Label the acid, the base, the conjugate base and the conjugate acid in each of the following reactions.
(a) CH₃COOH + H₂O CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
(b) H₂O + CH₃NH₂ OH⁻ + CH₃NH₃⁺
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
The acid is the proton donor on the left side and the base is the proton acceptor. Removing H⁺ from the acid gives the conjugate base; adding H⁺ to the base gives the conjugate acid. In (a) CH₃COOH donates a proton to water, so CH₃COO⁻ is the conjugate base and H₃O⁺ the conjugate acid. In (b) water donates a proton to methylamine, giving OH⁻ and CH₃NH₃⁺.
