In the following reaction,which reactant is a Brønsted-Lowry base? HCl(aq)+ KHS(aq)→ KCl(aq)+ H₂S(aq)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the reaction, KHS reacts with HCl to form KCl and H2S. The HCl donates a proton (H+) to KHS, which means HCl is a Brønsted-Lowry acid. KHS accepts the proton, which means it acts as a Brønsted-Lowry base. KCl and H2S are the products of the reaction and do not play a role in the acid-base reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B, KHS.
