What is the Conjugate base of Sodium hydroxide oxylate
« on: December 11, 2006, 04:36:00 PM »
HO2CCO2-Na+

given that HO2CCO2- is a base, wouldnt it produce a conjugate acid?

It is both acid and base at the same time. It has both conjugate acid and conjugate base.

ok. so if I want to find a conjugate base, I need to make a Kb process.

Therefore,

HO2CCO2- (aq) + H2O (l) <-----> OH- (aq) + H2O2CCO2 (aq)
does this sound correct?

where H2O2CCO2 (aq) is the conjugate base?

Since when protonated form is a conjugate base?

What is Bronsted-Lowry definition of acid? Base?
