Answer 3

The fundamental concept of `Bronsted-Lowry` theory is that an acid (or Brønsted acid) is defined as being able to lose, or donate a proton (the hydrogen cation, or H+) while a base (or Brønsted base) is defined as a species with the ability to gain, or accept a proton.

Answer 4

umm so what do I do ? :)

Answer 5

Which one do you think got an extra \(H^+\) after reaction ?

Answer 6

H2SO4 --> HSO4
H2O --> H3O

Answer 7

H2SO4 --> HSO4

Answer 8

This one lost a H+ honey :(

Answer 9

how do we know ?

Answer 10

`H2`SO$--->HSO$

Answer 11

Getting it ?

Answer 12

Similarly H2O gained one H+ and became H3O

Answer 13

i get it now

Answer 14

So what will be the answer ?

Answer 15

um what am i looking for

Answer 16

Bronsted-Lowry Base i.e the one who accepted H+

Answer 17

oh then \[h _{2}SO _{4}\]

Answer 18

How many H is in H2SO4 ?

Answer 19

1 or 2
??

Answer 20

two

Answer 21

Now how many are in HSO4 ?

Answer 22

1

Answer 23

Lost or gained ?

Answer 24

gained

Answer 25

are you kidding wid me ?

Answer 26

i am sorry i don't know what that is ??

Answer 34

well you lost it cause you ate it. i dunno

Answer 35

yes u lost it honey !
1<2, so you lost 1 apple

Answer 36

\(\sf H_2SO_4\) had 2 protons or \(\sf H^+\), after reaction it became \(\sf HSO_4\) and now have only 1 \(\sf H^+\). So it lost \(\sf H^+\) and therfore is a Bronsted acid. Opposite is with \(\sf H_2O\) and is bronsted base.

Answer 37

alright thank very very much!

Answer 38

and how in the world did you tag yourself on the post before ? :P

Answer 39

are you sure you got this one ?

Answer 41

what i didn't even put all of those question marks?? ahahh this is scary

Answer 42

you got this question ?

Answer 43

yeah why would i ? you can i ask me another question to make sure. i will probably get it wrong thou :p

Answer 44

;(

Answer 45

\(\sf HNO_3 + NH_3 ⇔ NO_3^- + NH_4^+\)

Tell me the bronsted acid in the above reaction

Answer 46

O_o you mean the gain or losed protons?

Answer 47

yes !
Bronsted acid=The guy who lost proton (H+)

Bronsted Base=The guy who gained proton (H+)

Answer 48

\(\sf HNO_3-->NO_3^-\)

Answer 49

okay that is better !

Answer 50

\(\sf NH_3-->NH_4^+\)

Answer 51

First one:
it lost a H
second one:
it gain a proton H+

Answer 52

yes that's correct !
So first one is bronsted-acid and second one is bronsted-base

Answer 53

But i'll not be there everytime to simplify the equation for you !

Answer 54

you'll have to simplify it on your own...getting it ?

Answer 55

i get how your question. but not my question which was simplified as H2SO4 --> HSO4
H2O --> H3O
i would have simplified it the total opposite can you explain ?

Answer 56

ahhh opps let me fix that !

Answer 57

this

H2SO4 --> HSO4
H2O --> H3O

Answer 58

So what's the problem ?
Let's figure it out one by one....
H2SO4----how many H can u see in it ?

Answer 59

2

Answer 60

HSO4---> how many h ?

Answer 61

1

Answer 62

*H

Answer 63

yes...so while reaction H2SO4 lost one H+ ion...so bronsted acid....ok ?

Answer 64

ok

Answer 65

Now for H2O--->H3O...explain me

Answer 66

uhhhh.... well H20 has 1 H.
H30 has 3 H
so it gained 2 H which is bronsted Base

Answer 67

I.m gonna kill you !

Answer 68

whyy! lol

Answer 69

\(\sf \ H_2O\) [water] has one H ?

Answer 70

ahahah 22222222222222222222222222222222222222

Answer 71

I was talking about the water we find on earth and not on mars !

that song is perfect for me Jkjkjkjkjkjk

Answer 80

btw i love katy i went to her concert couple weeks ago ;p

Answer 81

Just to make sure...temme the acid and base in \(\sf CH_3COOH +H_2O-->CH_3COO^-+H_3O^+\)

Answer 82

Then i'll leave...and if u give the correct answer i'll give you cookies else i'll kill you :p

Answer 83

okay i am kinda scared lolz

Answer 84
