Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bronsted-Lowry theory treats acid-base reactions as proton-transfer reactions.

Answer: D 
 A substance that can behave as either an acid or a base is called amphoteric. The Bronsted-Lowry theory allows for the classification of amphoteric substances.

Answer: A 
 According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, the species that results when a base accepts a proton is called a conjugate acid.

Answer: E 
 The species that results when an acid donates a proton is called a conjugate base.

Answer: B 
 The Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases is based on the presence of hydrogen ions (H+) as acids and the presence of hydroxide ions (OH-) as bases.
