Week 9 Worksheet: Chapter 10 Acids and Bases

I. Identifying acid/base theories. For each molecule or ion in the table, identify whether it can act as an acid

or a base and put a checkmark under each theory or theories that describe it.

Acid or Base

II. Conjugate Acids and Bases. In each reaction, identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base.

Then, write which acid/base theory or theories describe the reaction.

(a) NH3 + H2O  NH4+ + OH-

(e) NH2- + H2O  NH3 + OH-

(f) AlCl3 + Cl-  AlCl4-

(g) BBr3 + NH3  Br3B-NH3
