H2O

Question 4

Which of these ideas did you include in your answer?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Water behaves as a base in this reaction.; The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.; A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.; Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base.

Question 5

Explain how water behaves in this reaction. Which definition of acids and bases would you apply? Upper subscript 2 upper C upper O subscript 3 plus upper H subscript 2 upper O right arrow upper H upper C upper O subscript 3 superscript minus plus upper H subscript 3 upper O superscript plus.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Water accepts a proton from H₂CO₃ to form H₃O⁺, so it acts as a Brønsted–Lowry base. The Brønsted–Lowry definition applies because it describes acids and bases in terms of proton transfer.
