Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're asked to identify our bronze said Lowry acid, our bronze said larry base. Our conjugate acid and conjugate base 1st. Let's go ahead and define these terms. Now we know our bronze said larry acid is going to be our proton donor. Looking at our reaction, we can see that our Hydrofluoric acid donated a proton to our propeller. Mean and so our Bronson Lowry acid is going to be our Hydrofluoric acid. Next looking at our bronze said Lowry Base, we've learned that a bronze said Lowry base is a proton except er again, looking at our reaction, we know that our propeller means accepted our proton from our Hydrofluoric acid. So our proton except er is going to be our proposal. Amine. Now for our conjugate acid and conjugate base are conjugate acid will have one hydrogen greater. Then our bronze said Lowry Base. Looking at our reaction, we can see that our conjugate acid is going to be the protein ated form of our propeller. Mean next we're going to define our conjugate base and we've learned it as one proton less. Then our bronze set larry acid. So looking at our reaction, we know that our conjugate base is going to be our flooring an ion and this is going to be our final answers. So I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
