Question

Reaction: HO₂C₂O₂H + H₂O —> _________ + _____________

Label the proton donor and the proton acceptor as acid or base. Predict the products and identify and label each conjugate acid-base pair. Indicate the direction of the reaction.

Answer 1

HO₂C₂O₂H + H₂O ==> H₃O⁺ + ^-O₂C₂O₂H

.....acid..........base.......conj.acid.....conj.base......

oxalic acid + water ==> hydronium ion + oxalate anion

....acid..........base..........conj. acid...........conj. base

Direction of reaction is forward
