The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which of the following are not acid-base conjugate pairs, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Acid-Base Conjugate Pairs**: - An acid donates a proton (H⁺) and becomes its conjugate base. - A base accepts a proton and becomes its conjugate acid. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: C₆H₅COOH and C₆H₅COO⁻**: - C₆H₅COOH (benzoic acid) is an acid. When it donates a proton, it becomes C₆H₅COO⁻ (benzoate ion), which is its conjugate base. This is a valid conjugate acid-base pair. - **Option 2: H₃O⁺ and OH⁻**: - H₃O⁺ (hydronium ion) is an acid that donates a proton to become H₂O (water). OH⁻ (hydroxide ion) is a base that accepts a proton to also become H₂O. However, H₃O⁺ and OH⁻ do not form a conjugate acid-base pair because they do not directly convert into one another. Therefore, this option is not a valid conjugate pair. - **Option 3: CH₃NH₃⁺ and CH₃NH₂**: - CH₃NH₃⁺ (methylammonium ion) is an acid that donates a proton to become CH₃NH₂ (methylamine), which is its conjugate base. This is a valid conjugate acid-base pair. - **Option 4: H₂S and HS⁻**: - H₂S (hydrogen sulfide) can donate a proton to become HS⁻ (hydrosulfide ion), which is its conjugate base. This is also a valid conjugate acid-base pair. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only option that does not represent a conjugate acid-base pair is **Option 2: H₃O⁺ and OH⁻**. ### Final Answer: The following are acid-base conjugate pairs except: **Option 2: H₃O⁺ and OH⁻**.
