In the following net ionic equation, identify each species as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base. CN- + H2CO3 (aq) HCN (aq) + HCO3- Brønsted-Lowry_____acidbase Brønsted-Lowry_____acidbase Brønsted-Lowry_____acidbase Brønsted-Lowry_____acidbase In this reaction: The formula for the conjugate _____acidbase of CN- is | The formula for the conjugate _____acidbase of H2CO3 is |
according to bronsted lowry acid base concept, the compuond which accept a H+ is a acid and which donates a H+ is base.
here in the equation, CN- accpets a H+ to form HCN and H2CO3 donates a H+ to become HCO3- also in reverse reaction HCN donates a H+ to form CN- and HCO3- accepts a H+ to form H2CO3
bronsted lowry Acid : H2CO3 and HCN
Bronsted lowry Base : CN- and HCO3-
conjuate acid base is differed by one H+
so Conjugate acid of CN- is HCN
Conjugate base of H2CO3 is HCO3-
