C5H5Narrow_forwardWrite the reaction and the corresponding Kb equilibrium expression for each of the following substances acting as bases in water. a. aniline, C6H5NH2 b. dimethylamine, (CH3)2NHarrow_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
