Hey everyone, we're asked to classify if period any um catalon acts as an acidic or neutral caddy on. If it acts as an acidic carry on, we have to write a chemical equation showing how it acts as an asset. Now our period any um Catalan has a formula of C five, H. Five and H. Plus. And this should look familiar since this is the conjugate acid of our paradigm, which is a weak base. And since this is the conjugate acid of a weak base, this does mean that our peritoneum Catalan acts as an acidic catalon. So writing out our equation, we have our peritoneum catalon and we react this with water. We produced our period ayn and hydro ni um ions. And this is going to be our final answer. So I hope this made sense. And let us know if you have any questions.
