Write the formula of the conjugate base of any acid (remove H+) and the conjugate acid of any base (add H+), and identify the two conjugate pairs in an acid-base reaction equation.
Methanoic acid, HCOOH(aq), and hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), are both acids. A 0.100moldm−3 solution of HCOOH(aq) has a pH of 2.39 while a solution of HCl(aq) of the same concentration has a pH of 1.00. (i) Explain…
