Chapter 4, Problem 22CTQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Hydrogen that can be donated in each strong acid in below table should be encircled.

  

Concept introduction: According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, substance that donates proton is termed as acid while that accepts or gains protons is called base. Species formed after loss of protons from acids are known as their respective conjugate bases whereas conjugate acid is produced by addition of protons to base. Strong acid is substance that donates protons or ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions easily. For example, $\text{HCl}$ and ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$ are strong acids.
