Question

According to the Bronsted-Lowry definition,


an acid is a proton acceptor

a base is a proton donor

a base produces H+ ions in aqueous solutions

a base is a proton acceptor

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 'a base is a proton acceptor .'

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory:

• An acid is defined as a substance which looses or donates protons and forms conjugate base.

        Acid → $H^+$ + Conjugate base

• A base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and forms conjugate acid.

       Base + $H^+$ →  Conjugate acid

According to the question the correct answer is 'a base is a proton acceptor.
