Answer:

To find a base by its formula, does it end in COO-

A base never ens with COOH

Explanation:

According to Bronsted Acid - Base theory : When an acid and base reacts with each other , the acid form its conjugate base and base will form its conjugate acid because of exchange of proton .

If HA = acid and B = base react each other then they generate their conjugate Base (A-) and acid (HB+) respectively .

The equation is represented as :

HA+B\rightleftharpoons A^{-}+HB^{+}

Here A- is conjugate base of HA acid

HB+ is conjugate acid of base B

COOH group is the carboxylic acid group = acid

Suppose A carboxylic acid RCOOH is added in water(H2O)

RCOOH + H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons RCOO^{-}+H^{+}

Here

RCOOH = Acid and its conjugate -base is RCOO-

Hence A Base end with formula COO-

COOH is always acid

kobusy [5.1K]
Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.
