Chapter 7, Problem 17P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the Bronsted-Lowry definition, the first compound should be identified as an acid or a base in the following reaction:

   

Concept Introduction:

Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that can donate a proton or hydrogen ion and form conjugate base. For example, acetic acid is a Bronsted-Lowry acid because it can donate ion and form conjugate baseBronsted-Lowry base is a substance that can accept a proton and form conjugate acid.

For example: ammonia is a Bronsted-Lowry base because it can accept ion and form conjugate acid

The reaction of a Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is as follows:
