Hey everyone. We're asked to provide the balance equation for the reaction of an allen with water and identify the conjugate acid base pairs. So first let's go ahead and write out our reaction, We have an allen and this is going to react with water. When these two react, we end up with our own ilium ion plus our hydroxide ion. Now looking at this reaction, we can see that it is completely balanced out. Now let's go ahead and look at our conjugate acid base pairs first. Let's go ahead and define what a bronze said. Lowry acid is. So Brown said Lowry acid is going to be a proton donor. And looking at our reaction, we can see that water acts as a proton donor. So this is going to be our acid. Now looking at our bronze said Lowry base, this is defined as a proton except er So looking at our reaction, our bronze said Larry base is going to be our an allen. Now let's go ahead and look at the conjugate base of our water. Looking at our product side, our conjugate base is going to be our hydroxide ion. And looking at the conjugate acid of our bronze said Lowry base, this is going to be our own ilium ion and this is going to be our final answers. Now I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
