Question

Consider the following chemical system:

CH3NH2 +HSO4^− ⇌ CH3NH3^+ +SO4^2−

Which is true about this system?

a)CH3 NH2 is an acid and CH3 NH3^+ is its conjugate base

b)CH3 NH2 is an base and SO4^2- is its conjugate acid

c) none of these

d)SO4^2- is and acid and HSO4^- is its conjugate base

Answer 1

c) None of the options is true.

a) CH₃NH₂ is an base, not an acid

b) SO₄^2- is a conjugate base but not the conjugate base of CH₃NH₂

d) SO₄^2- is not an acid, and HSO₄^- is an acid
