Chapter 4.3, Problem 1PE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given species has to be classified as a Brønsted acid or base.

Concept introduction:

• In the reaction, the species that donates a proton, ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ is called Brønsted acid and the species that accepts a proton, ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ is called Brønsted base.
• The reaction between acid and base forms a conjugate base of acid and conjugate acid of base by proton ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ exchange

(b)
