Answer:
Measuring a pencil in meters would be very difficult, as a single meter is much longer than one pencil. Also, measuring a hallway in millimeters would be very difficult considering how small millimeters are in comparison to a hallway. However, if you switch these two then they would work very well.
I believe the answer is <span>can be elements or compounds
In this case, elements in the decomposition reaction is the substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances.
Compounds, technically act as a reactant in the decomposition reaction, but since the reaction breakdown one substance into two or more, sometimes it exists in the product.</span>
Answer: a) 
acid : hydronium ion
base : methoxide ion
conjugate acid : methanol
conjugate base: water
b) 
acid : hydrogen chloride
base : ethoxide ion
conjugate acid : ethanol
conjugate base: chloride ion
c) 
acid : methanol
base : amide ion
conjugate acid : ammonia
conjugate base: methoxide ion
Explanation:
According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.
The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.
The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base
For the given chemical equation:
a) 
acid : hydronium ion
base : methoxide ion
conjugate acid : methanol
conjugate base: water
b) 
acid : hydrogen chloride
base : ethoxide ion
conjugate acid : ethanol
conjugate base: chloride ion
c) 
acid : methanol
base : amide ion
conjugate acid : ammonia
conjugate base: methoxide ion
