  • question_answer
    Which of the following species is an acid and also a conjugate base of another acid           [NCERT 1981]

    A)                 \[HSO_{4}^{-}\]               

    B)                 \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)                 \[O{{H}^{-}}\]   

    D)                 \[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]⇌\[{{H}^{+}}+HSO_{4}^{-}\]⇌\[{{H}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{-\,-}\]                                 \[HSO_{4}^{-}\] is conjugate base. But it is also an acid  because it lose \[{{H}^{+}}\].
