The net-ionic equation for an acid base reaction involves transfer of a proton (H ion) from the acid to the base. The products represent the conjugate base and acid of the reacting acid and base. The net-ionic equation for this system is shown here. HF-CN= F-HCN If you compare two acids and one is stronger than the other, how do the strengths of their conjugate bases compare? It is given that HF is the stronger acid. Which is the stronger...
Write the equation for the proton transfer reaction involving a Brønsted-Lowry acid or base, and show how it can be interpreted as an electron-pair transfer reaction, clearly identifying the donor and acceptor.
Consider the reaction between a weak acid (HA) and a weak base (B). If the pKa of HA was 4.6 and the pKa of BH was 10.1, what would be the value of the equilibrium constant to the nearest ones? Hint: Once you write the expression for Keq, you should recognize terms that you can "swap out" with equivalent terms from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation; this should greatly simplify the math.
Part A In the acid-base mechanism, the base is a proton acceptor, and the acid is the proton donor. An acid-base reaction is visualized as the reaction in which proton transfer takes place. However, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, the nucleophile attacks a substrate (usually an electrophile), and the leaving group is removed from the substrate as a weaker nucleophile. The nature of the reactants determines whether a reaction will proceed as an acid-base reaction or a nucleophilic substitution reaction....
