Consider the reaction below. HI + H2O mc014-1.jpg H3O+ + I– Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? HI and H2O H2O and H3O+ H3O+ a
2 answers:
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry, species which donate a proton are known as acid. The species which accept a proton are known as a base.
In the given reaction, acids and bases are as follows.
HI +
+
Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate base
Therefore, the acid HI loses a proton to form a conjugate base that is .
Thus, we can conclude that HI and is an acid conjugate base pair.

Explanation:
In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.
In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:
Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:
Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:
Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:
Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:
Using the last two equations, we see that:
Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:
