C2H3O2(aq)+H2O(l)HC2H3O2(aq)+OH(aq)arrow_forwardEthanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, can act as a BrnstedLowry acid. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as an acid with hydroxide ion, OH. Ethanol can also react as a BrnstedLowry base. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as a base with hydronium ion, H3O+. Explain how you arrived at these chemical equations. Both of these reactions can also be considered Lewis acid base reactions. Explain this.arrow_forward
