The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the conjugate acids and bases in the given equilibrium reaction: **Reaction:** \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{HF} \leftrightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_2^+ + \text{F}^- \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Acid and Base:** - In the reaction, we have acetic acid (\( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \)) and hydrofluoric acid (\( \text{HF} \)). - Acids are substances that can donate protons (\( \text{H}^+ \)), while bases are substances that can accept protons. 2. **Determine the Proton Transfer:** - Here, \( \text{HF} \) donates a proton (\( \text{H}^+ \)) to \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \). - As a result, \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \) becomes \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_2^+ \) (the conjugate acid), and \( \text{HF} \) becomes \( \text{F}^- \) (the conjugate base). 3. **Identify Conjugate Acids and Bases:** - The conjugate acid of \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \) is \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_2^+ \) because it is formed by the addition of a proton. - The conjugate base of \( \text{HF} \) is \( \text{F}^- \) because it is formed by the removal of a proton. 4. **Conclusion:** - In this equilibrium, \( \text{F}^- \) is the conjugate base of \( \text{HF} \), and \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_2^+ \) is the conjugate acid of \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \). ### Final Answer: - **Conjugate Base:** \( \text{F}^- \) (from \( \text{HF} \)) - **Conjugate Acid:** \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_2^+ \) (from \( \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \))
