# In a non-aqueous solvent, hydrogen fluoride reacts with methanol according to the following equilibrium:

\[ \text{HF} + \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH}_2^+ + \text{F}^- \]

Which of the following correctly identifies a conjugate acid-base pair in this reaction?

In a non-aqueous solvent, hydrogen fluoride reacts with methanol according to the following equilibrium:

\[ \text{HF} + \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH}_2^+ + \text{F}^- \]

Which of the following correctly identifies a conjugate acid-base pair in this reaction?

- **A.** \(\text{HF}\) and \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\)
- **B.** \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\) and \(\text{F}^-\
- **C.** \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}_2^+\) and \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\)
- **D.** \(\text{HF}\) and \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}_2^+\
