What is the conjugate acid in this reaction? HC2H3O2(aq)+H2O(l)⇌H3O++C2H3O−2(aq) View Available Hint(s) What is the conjugate acid in this reaction? HC2H3O2 H2O H3O+ C2H3O−2

Respuesta :

Hey there!

HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O⁺(aq) + C2H3O2⁻(aq)

↓                             ↓              ↓                      ↓

acid                     base             acid            base

If we consider the only forward reaction H3O⁺is the conjugate acid of the base H2O .  For reversse reaction CH3COOH  is the conjugate acid of the base  CH3COO⁻.

Hope this helps!
