Formulas for conjugate bases
Whats the formula for this conjugate bases? how do I get them?
a) HSO3tothe(-) b) NH3 c) HCL and how is the lewis acid and lewis base identified? thanks |

Read J.D.Lee, elementary questions, pal.
Viloating the Rules I guess, but I will answer. So Acid are something with donatable H+, which means accepting e-! That is exactly Lewis Acid, anything that accepts e- is an Acid. Anything that donates e- is Base! http://web.chem.ucla.edu/~harding/tu...onj_acids.html That is all... |

Lewis ACID: Any compound in need of electrons.
Lewis BASE: Any compound that can donate electrons. Conjugate Concept: ------------------ Suppose you need the conjugate acid of NH3 (Ammonia) which is a base, NH4+ , by gain of electron. Also A STRONG ACID HAS A WEAK CONJUGATE BASE AND A STRONG BASE HAS A WEAK CONJUGATE ACID. |

Formulas for conjugate bases
lewis acid/bases interact through dative bonding (the lewis base donates both of the electrons thus it will be the one with the lone pair).
