Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The product of the following reaction has to be identified. Also, the acid and its conjugate base and the base and its conjugate acid for the following reaction have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In Bronsted–Lowry theory, acid is defined as a substance that donates a proton. In a solution, it dissociates to give
Base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton. In a solution, it dissociates to give
Brønsted–Lowry acid transfer a proton and form base as the other compound can accept a proton. This is called conjugate acid-base pair. In pair of conjugate acid and base, the acid form is protonated and the base form lost the proton.
Every base has a conjugate acid. They are related by loss or gain of proton. The expression for base and conjugate acid is as follows:
Every acid has a conjugate base. They are related by loss or gain of proton. The expression for conjugate base and acid is as follows:
The reaction mechanism in which proton is donated by a compound and accepted by the other compound is called a proton transfer reaction. It involves the transfer of protons between two species in chemical reaction.
