Answer:
The correct answer is [tex]HCN/CN^- , H_2O/OH^-[/tex]
Explanation:
According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.
[tex]CN^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HCN(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]
[tex]CN^-[/tex] = Bronsted-Lowry base
[tex]H_2O[/tex] = Bronsted-Lowry acid
[tex]HCN[/tex] = Conjugate acid
[tex]OH^-[/tex] = Conjugate base
The correct answer is [tex]HCN/CN^- , H_2O/OH^-[/tex]
