Question

write the formula of the conjugate acid of the brønsted-lowry base, (ch₃)₂nh

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Bronsted - Lowry base - conjugate acid concept

A Bronsted - Lowry base accepts a proton (\(H^+\)).

Step2: Add a proton to the given base

For the base \((CH_3)_2NH\), when it accepts a proton (\(H^+\)), the formula of the conjugate acid is \((CH_3)_2NH_2^+\). The nitrogen atom in \((CH_3)_2NH\) has a lone pair of electrons that can accept the \(H^+\) ion. The general reaction is \((CH_3)_2NH + H^+
ightleftharpoons(CH_3)_2NH_2^+\)

Answer:

\((CH_3)_2NH_2^+\)
