Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given hydrofluoric acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.
b.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given formic acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.
c.
To determine:
The anion formed from the given sulfurous acid
Introduction:
According to Bronsted Lowry concept, an acid is a species that can easily donate a proton and the species that accepts this donated proton is known as a base. The species that is left after the donation of a proton is an anion and is known as a conjugate base while the species that gains the proton acts as a cation and is known as a conjugate acid.
