Equilibrium Question 798
Question: Which one of the following is the correct statemen'
Options:
A) $ HCO_3^{-} $ is the conjugate base of $ CO_3^{2-} $ .
B) $ NH_2^{-} $ is the conjugate acid of $ NH_3 $ .
C) $ H_2SO_4 $ is the conjugate acid of $ HSO_4^{-} $ .
D) $ NH_3 $ is the conjugate base of $ NH_2^{-} $ .
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ HSO_4^{-} $ accepts a proton to form $ H_2SO_4 $ Thus $ H_2SO_4 $ is the conjugate acid of $ HSO_4^{-} $
$ \underset{base}{\mathop{HSO_4^{-}}},\xrightarrow{^{+{H^{+}}}}\underset{conjugate,acid,of,HSO_4^{-}}{\mathop{H_2SO_4}}, $
