Chapter 17, Problem 11E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acid and base for the forward reaction and acid base for the reverse reaction is to be stated

Concept introduction:

According to Brønsted theory of acids and bases, a substance that donates hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ to any other substance is known as an acid. On the other hand, a substance that accepts hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ is known as base. The species that remains after donating proton by a bronsted acid is known as its conjugate base.
