Multiple Choice
"Cocaine", as it is shown on television, is actually a salt known as cocaine hydrochloride, [C17H22NO4+][Cl-], which forms white crystals that stupid people snort through straws to make them even more stupid. Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to a frightening substance known as "crack", which is formed by treating cocaine with sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. "Crack" is a neutral compound with the formula C17H21NO4. Which of the following statements is true?
A) "Crack" is the conjugate base of cocaine hydrochloride.
B) "Cocaine" contains the conjugate acid of "crack".
C) When "cocaine" is treated with NaHCO3, the bicarbonate ion acts as a base, removing an H+ ion.
