Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Sulphuric acid has to be classified as Bronsted-Lowry acid or base or amphiprotic.
Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry acid: According to Brønsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor.
Bronsted-Lowry base: According to Brønsted-Lowry theory, a base is a proton acceptor.
Amphiprotic: It is a property of a compound which has both acid and base property. For example, water acts as acid in hydrogen chloride and base in ammonia.
(b)
Interpretation:
Hydrogen sulphate ion has to be classified as Bronsted-Lowry acid or base or amphiprotic.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part a.
(c)
Interpretation:
Sulphate ion has to be classified as Bronsted-Lowry acid or base or amphiprotic.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part a.
