Title: Acids and Bases Equilibrium question--bronsted/conjugate acid/base qn
Post by: prasamb@yahoo.com on February 03, 2023, 07:47:23 PM
HCO3- +NH4 +         <---------     
                                 ---------->

Complete the above and identify the bronsted acid,bronsted base, conjugate acid and conjugate base

HCO3- (aq) + NH4+ (aq)

< ---->  H2CO3 (aq) + NH3(aq)
HCO3- (aq) is the base and its conjugate acid is H2CO3 (aq)
NH4+ (aq)  is the acid and its conjugate base is NH3(aq)
NH+4 can not act like a base because N is already with four bonds and not able to accept a proton.
