- A Bronsted-Lowry acids: a proton ,H+ donor
- A Bronsted-Lowry base: is a proton, H+, acceptor
- When an acid is added to water, it dissociated releasing H+ into the solution, for example: HCl+aq = H+ + Cl-
- Aq symbolises an excess of water
- monobasic acids can release only one proton
- dibasic acids can release two protons
- tribasic acids can release three protons
Aqueous acid takes part in typical acid-base reactions with:
- carbonates
- bases
- alkalis
in these reactions, the aqueous acid is neutralised and water is…
