Explanation:
The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".
In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.
Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.
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.
It would be carbon dioxide codd2 for the molecules
