So to find a base by its formula, does it end in coo or cooh? can a base be both of those endings?

To find a base by its formula, does it end in COO-

A base never ens with COOH

Explanation:

According to Bronsted Acid - Base theory : When an acid and base reacts with each other , the acid form its conjugate base and base will form its conjugate acid because of exchange of proton .

If HA = acid and B = base react each other then they generate their conjugate Base (A-) and acid (HB+) respectively .

The equation is represented as :

Here A- is conjugate base of HA acid

HB+ is conjugate acid of base B

COOH group is the carboxylic acid group = acid

Suppose A carboxylic acid RCOOH is added in water(H2O)

Here

RCOOH = Acid and its conjugate -base is RCOO-

Hence A Base end with formula COO-

COOH is always acid

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (a) boiling

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"
