Give the conjugate base of the following Brønsted–Lowry acids: (i) HIO3, (ii) NH4+.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

1. A Brønsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction. The conjugate base of an acid is formed when the acid donates a proton. Therefore, to find the conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid, we simply need to remove a proton (H+) from the acid.
2. For HIO3, remove one H+ to get the conjugate base. The conjugate base of HIO3 is IO3-.
3. For NH4+, remove one H+ to get the conjugate base. The conjugate base of NH4+ is NH3.
4. Remember, the charge of the conjugate base will be one unit less than the charge of the acid, since a positively charged proton has been removed.
5. So, the conjugate bases of HIO3 and NH4+ are IO3- and NH3 respectively.

Concetti chiave

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

Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

The Brønsted–Lowry theory defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors. This framework emphasizes the transfer of protons (H+) in chemical reactions, allowing for a broader understanding of acid-base behavior beyond just the presence of hydroxide ions. This theory is essential for identifying conjugate acid-base pairs.

Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs

A conjugate base is formed when an acid donates a proton. In a conjugate acid-base pair, the acid and its conjugate base differ by one proton. Understanding this relationship is crucial for predicting the products of acid-base reactions and for identifying the conjugate base of a given acid.

Dissociation of Acids

The dissociation of acids involves the release of protons into solution, which is a key step in determining their conjugate bases. For example, when HIO3 dissociates, it loses a proton to form IO3-, while NH4+ dissociates to form NH3. Recognizing how acids dissociate helps in identifying their corresponding conjugate bases.
