For the Bronsted acid-base reaction shown below, determine the conjugate acid-ba

Question

For the Bronsted acid-base reaction shown below, determine the conjugate acid-base pairs. Then give the curved-arrow notation for the reaction in the left-to-right direction. To draw the arrows, click on the reaction to get into the edit mode, then click on the curved arrow icon. In this unimolecular reaction, conjugate acids and bases are not separate species, but functional groups located on the ends of a bigger structure. Fill in the blanks with the letters A, B, C, and D to show the conjugate acid-base pairs. (It doesn't matter which pair you list first.)

Explanation / Answer

A is acid as it has H attached to O which can be ionised

C is its conjugate base

B is base as it has negative charge on oxygen that can accepts H+ from A

D is its conjugate acid

Or in other word, D is acid and B is its conjugate base

acid and its conjugate base:

A C

acid and its conjugate base:

D B
