Question

2. HOA2+H20 . → H3O+ + OA-CIn this reaction:(i) OA c is the conjugate base of H2O(ii)OA-c is the conjugate base of HOAc (iii) H3O+ is theсconjugate base of HOA.(iv) H3O+ is the conjugate acid of H2O(a) i(b) ii (c) iii (d) iv (e) none

Answer 1

(ii) and (iv)

Step-by-step explanation

In the given reaction,

HOAc is the acid because it donates its proton to H2O to become a conjugate base OA-c.

H₂O acts as the base by accepting the proton to become a conjugate acid H₃O⁺

Hence,

(i) OA-c is the conjugate base of H₂O. NO.

OA-c is the conjugate base of HOAc

(ii) OA-c is the conjugate base of HOAc. YES.

(iii) H₃O⁺ is the conjugate base of HOAc. NO.

H₃O⁺ is the conjugate acid of H₂O.

(iv) H₃O⁺ is the conjugate acid of H₂O. YES.

The correct statements that are true about the given reaction are:

(ii) and (iv)
