Chemistry Question on Equilibrium
Conjugate base for Bronsted acids H2O and HF are:
A
OH− and F−, respectively
B
H3O+ and H2F+, respectively
C
OH− and H2F+, respectively
D
H3O+ and F− respectively
Answer
OH− and F−, respectively
Explanation
Solution
HF on loss of H⊕ ion becomes F⊖ is the conjugate base of HF
Example :
{ \underset{\text{ Acid}}{{HF }}+\underset{\text{ Base}}{{H_2O }}<=>\underset{\text{ Conjugate base }}{{ F^{\ominus}}}+\underset{\text{ Conjugate acid}}{{ H_3O^{\oplus}}} }
