That's got to be the most horrendous way of writing a chemical formula that I have ever seen.

CH3COOH is an acid. Specifically, it's acetic acid.

What is the conjugate acid for base OH?

The conjugate acid for the base OH- is H2O. This is because when OH- accepts a hydrogen ion (H+), it forms water (H2O).


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 the General equation for acid reacting with a base?

acid + base → salt + water


Is H2O and acid or base?

Ultrapure fresh water is neutral.


Is lioh plus hcl equals licl plus h2o a acid base?

LiOH + HCl -> LiCl + H2O This is an acid base neutralization reaction producing a salt, lithium chloride (LiCl ) and water.


Is H2O amphiprotic?

it means that water can act as a base or an acid.


What type of ion is found in solution when an acid is formed?

That depends on the reaction. If you just want the general reaction you can consider the dissociation of water: H2O ------> H+ (acid) and OH- (base) or H2O + H2O --------> H3O+ (acid) and OH- (base)


What is the acid and what is the base in the reaction HBr H2O - Br- H2O?

In the reaction, HBr donates a proton (H+) to H2O, making HBr the acid and H2O the base. The resulting products are Br- (conjugate base of HBr) and H3O+ (conjugate acid of H2O).


What is the basic chemical equation for neutralization?

H+ + OH- ----> H2O is the basic reaction for neutralization. But this would not be balanced if a diprotic or triprotic acid were used. There is strictly speaking not enough information to answer the question.


An acid and base combined the products formed are salt and?

When acid and base combine, they give a salt and water. NaOH + HCl -------> NaCl + H2O.


What is produced when an acid and a base are mixed?

When an acid and a base are mixed it will give rise to a salt and water. For example HCl reacts with NaOH to give NaCl and H2O. The basic formula for the reaction of an acid and base is: HA + BOH ----> AB + H2O [acid] [base] [salt] [water]


What products are formed when an acid reacts with a base?

When an acid reacts with a base, the products formed are water and a salt. The hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid combines with the hydroxide ion (OH-) from the base to form water (H2O), while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.
