Question

2. In the reactants given below, if water acts as an acid or a base as indicated, predict the products formed and identify whether it is the conjugate acid or the conjugate base in each chemical reaction. Remember that a Bronsted-Lowry (B-L) acid is a proton donor and a B-L base is a proton acceptor. a.) H2PO42- + H2O ———> _____ + _ base acid b.) CH3COOH + H2O ———> _ + _____ acid base

Step 1

) In this reaction, we have: \[ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \\ \text { base acid } \\ \end{array} \] Since H2PO4^2- is acting as a base and H2O is acting as an acid, the base will accept a proton from the acid. Show more…
