Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the equation C₉H₇N(aq) + OH−(aq) → C₉H₆N−(aq) + H₂O(l), isoquinoline acts as a Brønsted-Lowry base by accepting a proton (H+) from the hydroxide ion (OH-) to form its conjugate acid, C₉H₆N-. The resulting product, H₂O(l), is the conjugate acid of the hydroxide ion that acted as a proton donor.
