Question

Which of the following best describes a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?
O
A Acid + conjugate acid = base + conjugate base
O
B
Acid + conjugate base = base + conjugate acid
O
c Acid + base = conjugate base + conjugate acid
O
Acid + base = metal + nonmetal

Answer 1

Answer:

c Acid + base = conjugate base + conjugate acid

Explanation:

In a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, the original acid gives up its proton and becomes a conjugate base. In like manner, the original base accepts a proton and becomes a conjugate acid. For every acid, there is a conjugate base and for every base, there is a conjugate acid:

                           HA    ⇄     H⁺     +      A⁻

                          acid                         conjugate base

                         B         +     H⁺         ⇄        HB⁺

                      base                            conjugate acid
