(a)
Interpretation:
The Bronsted acids and bases in both reactants and products in the given proton transfer equilibrium has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor as well Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor.
Conjugate acid of a base has one more proton than its base. Simply add a proton to the base to get its conjugate acid.
Conjugate base of an acid has one less proton than its acid. Simply remove a proton from the acid to get its conjugate base.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis acid and base in the given proton transfer equilibrium has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
There is simple way to identify whether the given species is Lewis acid or Lewis base. A species which accepts electron pair is called Lewis acid and a species which donates electron pair is called Lewis base.

The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.arrow_forward
