Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

H₂CO₃ donates a proton to H₂O, forming HCO₃⁻ and H₃O⁺. Thus, H₂CO₃ and H₃O⁺ are the Brønsted acids.

In the Reaction H2CO3 + H2O →\rarr→ HCO3- + H3O+, the Brønsted Acids Are A)H2CO3 and H3O+

In the Reaction H₂CO₃ + H₂O $\rarr$ HCO₃^- + H₃O⁺, the Brønsted Acids Are
A)H₂CO₃ and H₃O⁺
