Concept explainers
According to the Brønsted-Lowry theory, lebel each of the following as an acid of a base (a)
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether
Concept introduction:
Bronsted and Lowry state that an acid is the species which donates proton and base is the substance that accepts.
Species that vary from one another by one proton only are considered as an acid-base pair.
The acceptance of proton by the base results in the formation of conjugate acids whereas the loss of proton by the acids results in the formation of conjugate bases.
Answer to Problem 1E
According to Bronsted and Lowry
Explanation of Solution
Nitrous acid
Therefore,
