Question

Be sure to answer all parts. identify and label the species in each reaction. (a) nh4+(aq) + h2o(l) ⇌ nh3(aq) + h3o+(aq) acid base acid base conjugate acid conjugate base conjugate acid conjugate base (b) cn−(aq) + h2o(l) ⇌ hcn(aq) + oh−(aq) acid base acid base conjugate acid conjugate base conjugate acid conjugate base

Answer 1

A)

NH⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ NH₃(aq) + H₃0⁺(aq)

- acid a species that able to donate (H+): NH⁴⁺
- base a species that is able to accept a proton (H+): H₂O
- conjugate base a species formed when acid donates a proton (H+): NH₃
- conjugate acid a species formed by a base accepts a proton (H+): H₃0⁺

b)

CN⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ HCN(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

- base a species that is able to accept a proton (H+): CN⁻
- acid a species that able to donate (H+): H₂O
- conjugate acid a species formed by a base accepts a proton (H+): HCN
- conjugate base a species formed when acid donates a proton (H+): OH⁻
