08 Bronsted Lowry

Front

What is a Bronsted Lowry base?

Back

A Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts H+ (protons) from another substance.

Front

What is a Bronsted Lowry acid?

Back

A Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates H+ (protons) to another substance.

Front

In the reaction H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl-, which substance is the Bronsted Lowry acid?

Back

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is the Bronsted Lowry acid.

Front

In the reaction H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl-, which substance is the conjugate base?

Back

Chloride ion (Cl-) is the conjugate base.

Front

What is a conjugate acid?

Back

A conjugate acid is the species formed when a Bronsted Lowry base accepts a proton.

Front

What is a conjugate base?

Back

A conjugate base is the species that remains after a Bronsted Lowry acid donates a proton.

Front

What is the conjugate acid of PO4^3- in the reaction PO4^3- + HNO3 → NO3- + HPO4^2-?

Back

The conjugate acid is HPO4^2-.

Front

What is the relationship between acids and bases in Bronsted Lowry theory?

Back

In Bronsted Lowry theory, acids donate protons and bases accept protons.

Front

What does the term 'hydronium ion' refer to?

Back

The hydronium ion (H3O+) is formed when water (H2O) accepts a proton (H+).

Front

What is the significance of the proton (H+) in Bronsted Lowry theory?

Back

The proton (H+) is the key element in Bronsted Lowry theory, as it defines the acid-base reactions.
