Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which is more basic between \( \overset{-}{OH} \) (hydroxide ion) and \( H\overset{-}{S} \) (hydrosulfide ion), we can analyze the stability of their conjugate acids and the ability to donate protons. ### Step 1: Identify the Conjugate Acids - The conjugate acid of \( \overset{-}{OH} \) is \( H_2O \) (water). - The conjugate acid of \( H\overset{-}{S} \) is \( H_2S \) (hydrosulfuric acid). **Hint:** Remember that the conjugate acid is formed by adding a proton (H⁺) to the base. ...
