Concept explainers
Which of the following species can be Brønsted—Lowry acids?
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
Interpretation:
The species that can form Bronsted-Lowry acids should be selected from the following:
Concept Introduction:
A substance is said to be acidic if it can give hydrogen ions (
Another theory that is purposed by Bronsted and Lowry is said to be Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. It states that acid can give
The acidic strength can be determined with the help of number of H+ and also with the help of strength of conjugated base. A strong Bronsted acid forms a weaker conjugated base.
