Give the conjugate acid of the following Brønsted–Lowry bases: (i) SO42-, (ii) CH3NH2.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the Brønsted–Lowry base in each case. A Brønsted–Lowry base is a species that can accept a proton (H⁺).
For each base, add a proton (H⁺) to form the conjugate acid. This involves increasing the hydrogen count by one and adjusting the charge accordingly.
For (i) SO₄²⁻, add H⁺ to form HSO₄⁻. The sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻) accepts a proton to become the hydrogen sulfate ion (HSO₄⁻).
For (ii) CH₃NH₂, add H⁺ to form CH₃NH₃⁺. The methylamine (CH₃NH₂) accepts a proton to become the methylammonium ion (CH₃NH₃⁺).
Verify that the resulting species have the correct charge and structure to ensure they are the conjugate acids of the given bases.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Brønsted–Lowry Theory

The Brønsted–Lowry theory defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors. This framework allows us to understand acid-base reactions in terms of the transfer of protons (H+ ions). In this context, identifying the conjugate acid of a base involves determining what species is formed when the base accepts a proton.

Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs

Conjugate acid-base pairs consist of two species that differ by the presence of a proton. When a base gains a proton, it becomes its conjugate acid, while the acid that donates the proton becomes its conjugate base. Understanding these pairs is essential for predicting the outcome of acid-base reactions and for identifying the conjugate acids of given bases.

Examples of Conjugate Acids

To find the conjugate acids of specific bases, one must consider the chemical structure of the base. For instance, when the sulfate ion (SO4^2-) accepts a proton, it becomes hydrogen sulfate (HSO4^-). Similarly, when methylamine (CH3NH2) accepts a proton, it forms methylammonium (CH3NH3+). Recognizing these transformations is key to solving the problem.
