Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.
1. According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that:
Accepts a proton.
Donates a proton.
Produces H+ ions in solution.
Accepts an electron pair.
2. Which of the following is a Brønsted-Lowry base?
HCl
NH3
H2SO4
CH3COOH
1. A Lewis acid is an electron pair .
2. The product formed when an acid donates a proton is called its base.
3. Substances that can act as both an acid and a base are called .
1. All Arrhenius acids are also Brønsted-Lowry acids.
True
False
2. A strong acid completely ionizes in water.
True
False
1. Explain the key difference between a Brønsted-Lowry acid and a Lewis acid.
2. Identify whether the following reaction involves an acid-base reaction according to the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and explain your reasoning: HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl-
