Question

What is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid?

Answer 1

A conjugate acid-base pair is an acid-base pair that differs only by one proton.

Conjugate base

• When a proton is removed from an acid, a conjugate base is formed.
• Conjugate bases have one proton less and one more negative charge compared to the species that is forming it.

Conjugate base of hydrazonic acid

• The formula of hydrazonic acid is ${\mathrm{HN}}_3$.
• The conjugate base of hydrazonic acid is ${\mathrm{N}}_3^{-}$.
