What are the conjugate acid and conjugate base HsO4 |
| Answer» HSO4- is a\xa0base\xa0on the other side of equation - it is the thing that ACCEPTS the proton, so it would act as a\xa0BASE. It is the\xa0conjugate base\xa0of\xa0H2SO4.\xa0H2SO4/HSO4- is an\xa0acid/conjugate base pair. H20 is the\xa0base\xa0in the forward rxn, because it accepts a proton, and becomes H3O+.\xa0An\xa0acid\xa0and a\xa0base\xa0which differ only by the presence or absence of a proton are called a\xa0conjugate acid-base\xa0pair. Thus NH3\xa0is called the\xa0conjugate base\xa0of NH4+, and NH4+\xa0is the\xa0conjugate acid\xa0of NH3. Similarly, HF is the\xa0conjugate acid\xa0of F–, and F–\xa0the\xa0conjugate base\xa0o<br>HSO4- is a\xa0base\xa0on the other side of equation - it is the thing that ACCEPTS the proton, so it would act as a\xa0BASE.
