Comparing Acid-Base Theories: Arrhenius vs. Bronsted-Lowry

What does an acid traditionally dissociate into in an aqueous solution?

• Chloride ions

• Hydrogen ions

• Hydroxide ions

• Water molecules

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, what is the role of an acid?

• To receive a proton

• To donate a proton

• To form a base

• To dissociate into ions

What ion does a base traditionally form?

• Sodium ion

• Chloride ion

• Hydrogen ion

• Hydroxide ion

In the context of the Bronsted-Lowry theory, what does a base do?

• Produces water

• Receives a proton

• Donates a proton

• Releases chloride ions

What is formed when a base receives a proton according to the Bronsted-Lowry theory?

• A conjugate acid

• A conjugate base

• A salt

• A neutral solution

What additional component is considered in the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?

• Carbon dioxide

• Water

• Sulfuric acid

• Sodium chloride

Which substance donates a proton in the Bronsted-Lowry theory?

• The salt

• The acid

• The water

• The base

What is the result of a base picking up a proton in the Bronsted-Lowry theory?

• Formation of a conjugate acid

• Formation of a conjugate base

• Dissociation into ions

• Production of water

What role does water play in the Bronsted-Lowry theory?

• It acts as a proton donor

• It acts as a proton acceptor

• It remains neutral

• It dissociates into ions
