Step 1: Data given
Bronsted-Lowry says the following:
Acid dissociation: HX + H2O → H3O+ + X-
Base dissociation: B + H2O → OH- + HB+
HC2H3O2 + H2O →
HC2HO2 is acetic acid, it's a weak acid. (CH3COOH)
This will be following the reaction HX + H2O → H3O+ + X-
CH3COOH + H2O → CH3COO- + H3O+
H2SO4 + H2O →
H2SO4 is a strong acid
This will be following the reaction HX + H2O → H3O+ + X-
H2SO4 + H2O → HSO4- + H3O+
CO3^2- + H2O →
CO3^2_ is a conjugate base
This will be following the reaction B + H2O → OH_ + HB+
CO3^2- + H2O → HCO3- + OH-
HCO3- + NH3 →
HCO3- (known as bicarbonate) is the conjugate base of H2CO3, a weak acid, and the conjugate acid of the carbonate ion.
NH3 is a weak base
HCO3- + NH3 → CO3^2- + NH4+
NH4+ + OH- →
The hydrogen on the ammonium ion (NH4+) can go back to the hydroxide ion (OH-) to form NH3 and H2O (ammonia and water) again. In this case, because the ammonium ion is donating a proton, it is called a conjugate acid.
NH4+ + OH- → NH3 + H2O
