How to identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and the conjugate base?

Identify the following as:acid,base,conjugate acid or conjugate base:(a) H2O(l)+HCIO4(l)-->H3O+ (aq)+ClO4- (aq?

  • (b) Ch3OH (l) + NH2 (aq) ---> CH3O- (aq) + NH3 (l)

  • Answer:

    conjugate acid-base pair differs by H+ only .... so for the first reaction H2O-H3O+ will be the conjugate acid-base pair.......in which H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid similarly HClO is the acid and ClO4- is the conjugate base in the second reaction CH3OH is the acid and CH3O- is the conjugate base and NH2- is the base and NH3 is the conjugate acid
