Question

Write the formula of the conjugate base of each acid: hf, hno3, and ch3ch2ch2oh. be sure to answer all parts.

Answer 1

The formula for the conjugate base of an acid is formed by removing a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid. The conjugate bases of HF, HNO3, and CH3CH2CH2OH are F-, NO3-, and CH3CH2CH2O-, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the conjugate base of an acid is formed by removing a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid. Here are the formulas for the conjugate bases of the given acids:

1. HF: Conjugate base is F-
2. HNO3: Conjugate base is NO3-
3. CH3CH2CH2OH: Conjugate base is CH3CH2CH2O-

Answer 2

Acid : A species (molecule or ion) that can lose a proton (H+) is called an acid.

Conjugate base : A conjugate base is simply an acid that has given up a proton(H+).

1.
`HF(acid) \rightarrow F^(-)(conjuagte base)`

HF is an acid which will lose its proton(H+) and form its conjugate base
`F^(-)`

2.
`HNO_(3)(acid) \rightarrow NO_(3)^(-)(conjuagte base)`

`HNO_(3)` is an acid which will lose its proton(H+) and form its conjugate base
`NO_(3)^(-)`

3.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH \rightarrow CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)O^(-)(conjuagte base)`

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH` will lose its proton(H+) and form its conjugate base
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)O^(-)`

Note : An acid when loses its proton(H+) form the conjugate base.
