The explanations are given in the section below
Explanation:
First step:
We need to understand the acid-base equilibrium of the reaction. Bear in mind that the conjugate acid-base pairs are species that differ by one proton. Furthermore, one is a Lewis acid (meaning the ability to protons) and the conjugate base (accepts protons)
A simple conjugate base is obtained by removing one proton from an acid as shown below:
HX ⇄ A⁻ + H⁺
The diagrams are as follows:
The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.
The correct structure is the following:
The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.
