Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)
Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)
In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base,
HCO3- is a base, while
H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.
Mesosaurus lived in freshwater lakes and ponds. Elongated and slim, it measured about 3.3 feet long. The skull and tail were both long and narrow, and the animal probably undulated through the water as it fed on small crustaceans and other prey with its jaws, which were full of long, thin, pointed teeth.
