What is the conjugate acid of clo3 −? 1. hclo3 2. clo3 − does not contain oh−, so it is not a base and thus cannot have a conjugate acid. 3. hcl 4. clo− 4 5. h + 6. cl− 7. oh−?

Respuesta :

Answer is: 1. HClO₃; (chloric acid).
Balance chemical reaction (dissociation):
ClO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HClO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).
The chlorate anion (ClO₃⁻) is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid HClO₃..

HClO₃ is the conjugate acid of ClO₃⁻ (Option 1).

Let's consider Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a species that donates H⁺.
  • A base is a species that accepts H⁺.

Let's consider the basic reaction of ClO₃⁻.

ClO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HClO₃ + OH⁻

ClO₃⁻ accepts an H⁺ from H₂O to form HClO₃. Since this reaction is reversible, HClO₃ donates a proton to OH⁻ to form ClO₃⁻. Thus, HClO₃ is the conjugate acid of ClO₃⁻.

HClO₃ is the conjugate acid of ClO₃⁻ (Option 1).
