Chapter 3, Problem 3.10P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Brønsted acid-base reaction in which ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\underset{¨}{\ddot{\text{O}}}/{}^{-}\text{:}\underset{¨}{\ddot{\text{O}}}\text{H}$ and act as conjugate acid-base pairs is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

According to Brønsted theory of acids and bases, a substance that donates hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ to any other substance is known as an acid. On the other hand, a substance that accepts hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ is known as base. The species that remains after donating proton by a Brønsted acid is known as its conjugate base.
