Question

Consider the reaction below. HI + H2O mc014-1.jpg H3O+ + I– Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? HI and H2O H2O and H3O+ H3O+ and I– HI and I–

Answer 1

Then the correct answer is d HI and I-

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

According to bronsted-Lowry, the conjugate acid is what forms after a base accepts a proton. A conjugate base is the one formed after the acid accepts a proton.

In this problem we have the conjugate acid that is H3O +, the acid is HI, the conjugate base is I- and the base is H2O

Reaction HI + H2O ----> H3O+ + I-

Then the correct answer is d HI and I-

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step 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 +
`H_(2)O`
`\rightarrow`
`H_(3)O^(+)` +
`I^(-)`

Acid Base Conjugate acid Conjugate base

Therefore, the acid HI loses a proton to form a conjugate base that is
`I^(-)`.

Thus, we can conclude that HI and
`I^(-)` is an acid conjugate base pair.
