Answer : The reactant acid and conjugate base in this reaction is, and
.
Explanation :
Conjugate acid : A species that is formed by receiving of a proton by a base is known as conjugate acid.
Conjugate base : A species that is formed by donating of a proton by an acid is known as conjugate base.
The given chemical reaction is,
In this reaction, (base) react with
(acid) to give
(conjugate acid) and
(conjugate base).
Therefore, the reactant acid and conjugate base in this reaction is, and
.
The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.
Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,
Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]
Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);
Formal charge = 6 - [ 6 + 2/2]
Formal charge = 6 - [6 + 1]
Formal charge = 6 - [7]
Formal charge = -1
