Identify the conjugate base of ch 3cooh in the reaction ch 3cooh + hso 4 − picture h 2so 4 + ch 3coo − hso4− so42− ch3coo− h2so4 oh−

c. CH₃COO⁻

Explanation:

The task is not very clear but I think this is the original question.

Identify the conjugate base of CH₃COOH in the reaction:

CH₃COOH + HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H₂SO₄ + CH₃COO⁻

a. HSO₄⁻

b. SO₄²⁻

c. CH₃COO⁻

d. H₂SO₄

e. OH⁻

Let's consider the following reaction

CH₃COOH + HSO₄⁻ ⇄ H₂SO₄ + CH₃COO⁻

According to the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a species that donates H⁺ and a base is a species that accepts H⁺.

CH₃COOH is an acid because it donates H⁺ to HSO₄⁻, whereas CH₃COO⁻  is its conjugate base, because it accepts H⁺ from H₂SO₄ to form CH₃COOH.

Another acid-base pair is H₂SO₄/HSO₄⁻

- both b and d.

-since b and d are the closest coastlines then that makes it the most affected.
