Consider the base hydroxylamine, $\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}$. (a) What is the conjugate acid of hydroxylamine? (b) When it acts as a base, which atom in hydroxylamine accepts a proton? (c) There are two atoms in hydroxylamine that have nonbonding electron pairs that could act as proton acceptors. Use Lewis structures and formal charges $\infty \infty$ (Section 8.5$)$ to rationalize why one of these two atoms is a much better proton acceptor than the other.
Consider the following acid-base reaction: HCN(aq) + H2O(l) → CN-(aq) + H3O+(aq). Which species is acting as the proton donor in this reaction? Which species is acting as the proton acceptor in this reaction? Identify the two sets of conjugate acid-base pairs. 2. If HClO2 acts as an acid, then what is its conjugate base? If C2H5NH2 acts as a base, then what is its conjugate acid?
