Bookmark or Share- Conjugate Acids and Conjugate Bases - Chemistry - SocraticHCO₃⁻ + H₂O → H₂CO₃ + OH⁻ base + acid → Conj A + Conj B. We see that HCO₃⁻ becomes H₂CO₃. It has one more H atom and one more + charge (-1 + 1 = 0). So H₂CO₃ is the conjugate acid of HCO₃⁻. The H₂O becomes OH⁻. It has one less H atom and one more – charge. So OH⁻ is the conjugate base of H₂O.
- Balancing Redox Equations Using the Oxidation Number MethodBalancing a redox reaction requires identifying the oxidation numbers in the net ionic equation, breaking the equation into half reactions, adding the electrons, balancing the charges with the addition of hydrogen or hydroxide ions, and then completing the equation.
- Balancing Chemical Equations - Chemistry - SocraticMass is conserved rather than created or destroyed so when a chemical equation is written, it must be balanced so that there is the same amount of reactants going in as yielded product. The equation is balanced by changing the scalar numbers that precede each part of the equation.
- How do you calculate the pH of a solution when given the OH ...The pH + pOH = 14 The pOH = -log[OH-] The pH is measure of acidity of a solution whereas the pOH is a measure of basicity of a solution. The two expressions are opposites expressions. As the pH increases the pOH decreases and vice versa. Both values equal 14. To convert a concentration of into pH or pOH take the -log of molar concentration of the hydrogen ions or the molar concentration of the ...
- Nucleophile vs. Base Strength - Organic Chemistry | SocraticExamples are: RO⁻, OH⁻, RLi, RC≡C:⁻, and NH₂⁻. Strong Bases/Poor Nucleophiles. Some strong bases are poor nucleophiles because of steric hindrance. Examples are t-BuO⁻, t-BuLi, and LiN[CH(CH₃)₂] Weak Bases/Good Nucleophiles. I⁻ is a weak base, but it is a good nucleophile because the large electron cloud is highly polarizable.
