Identify the acid-base conjugate pairs in the following acid-base reaction: H2CO3 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq)
Added by Tammy P.
Step 1
H2CO3 is the acid because it donates a proton (H+) to the water molecule, which acts as the base by accepting the proton. Show more…

Identify the acid and the base that are reactants in each equation; identify the conjugate base and conjugate acid on the product side of the equation. (a) $\mathrm{CN}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow$ $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{HCN}(\mathrm{aq})$ (b) $\mathrm{O}^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$ (c) $\mathrm{HCO}_{2}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell) \longrightarrow \mathrm{HCOOH}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$
