Is chloride base or acid?
The chloride ion is the conjugate base of a strong acid.
Is K2HPO4 an acid or base?
its an acid, H2PO4- is called dihydrogen phosphate ion. It is the conjugate base of Phosphoric Acid H3PO4 and the conjugate acid of monohydrogen phosphate ion HPO42
Is the sulfate ion the conjugate base of sulphuric acid?
Yes, it is, another conjugate base of sulphuric acid is bisulphate ion, HSO4
Why the carbonate ion is a strong base?
It is the conjugate base of a weak acid (carbonic acid).
What is the name for conjugate base H2O?
The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-
How is acid and base a different meaning?
An acid contain the ion H+ or (COOH)+ and a base contain the ion (OH)-.
Is chloride base or acid?
The chloride ion is the conjugate base of a strong acid.
What is the base of HCO3?
The conjugate base of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is CO32- (carbonate ion) The conjugate acid of HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) is H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
Is K2HPO4 an acid or base?
its an acid, H2PO4- is called dihydrogen phosphate ion. It is the conjugate base of Phosphoric Acid H3PO4 and the conjugate acid of monohydrogen phosphate ion HPO42
Is the sulfate ion the conjugate base of sulphuric acid?
Yes, it is, another conjugate base of sulphuric acid is bisulphate ion, HSO4
What is mean by conjugate?
If a base is chemically the same as a certain acid except without a hydrogen ion, it is that acid's conjugate base. If an acid is chemically the same as a certain base except with an extra hydrogen ion, it is that base's conjugate acid.
What type of acid or base is the ammonium ion?
acid ( {NH4}+ )
Why the carbonate ion is a strong base?
It is the conjugate base of a weak acid (carbonic acid).
What is the chemical symbol for acid and base?
Till date there is no symbol for acid and base but an acid molecule is ending with hydride ion(H negative) and a base is ending with hydroxide ion (OH negative).
What is the name for conjugate base H2O?
The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-
What is formed from a positive ion base and a negative ion from an acid?
A salt
What is a conjugated acid-base pair?
A conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a positive hydrogen Ion (H+), and thus, having the ability to lose this ion becomes a weak acid. The opposite is true when forming a conjugate base, an acid loses a H+ ion and therefore is a base, as it is able to steal ions.
