aaronq · Answer

you have to use this formula:  $M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

keep in mind that there are 2 $OH^-$ in every $Ba(OH)_2$

aaronq · Answer

yes

What substance is acting as the Brønsted-Lowry base in the forward reaction below?

H2O + HCl  H3O+ + Cl-

 H3O+

 Cl-

 H2O

 HCl

aaronq · Answer

what do bronsted bases do?

sarahc · Answer

i got Cl-

aaronq · Answer

that would be the conjugate acid

aaronq · Answer

conjugate base i mean

aaronq · Answer

H2O + HCl

it's one of these 2

sarahc · Answer

H20?

aaronq · Answer

theres no need to guess if you know the definitions.

A bronsted base accepts protons, a bronsted acid donates them.

H2O -> H3O+

HCl -> CL-

anonymous · Answer

@aaronq wouldn't it be HCl since its taking from CL?

aaronq · Answer

taking what?
