Concept Introduction:
A species that can acts as both proton donor or and also as a proton acceptor is known as amphiprotic. This reacts with both acid and base. Important character of the amphiprotic species is that it has hydrogen atoms which can be donated.
Proton donor is referred as Bronsted acid while proton acceptor is referred as Bronsted base. In a reaction, where a proton is alone transferred from one species to another species is known as Proton-transfer reaction.
Generally acid donates proton to form conjugate base. As donation of proton takes place, the conjugate base will have fewer hydrogen ions than that is present in acid. Base accepts protons to form conjugate acid. As proton is accepted, the conjugate acid will have more hydrogen ions than that of the base from which it is formed.

- You are given two glasses of water that have different temperatures. The temperature of the first glass is at 298 K, while the second glass has a temperature of 303 K. It has been determined that the Kw value for the second glass of water is 1.47 x 10-¹4. Which of the following statements is true? (a) The pH of the room temperature glass is higher, but both glasses have the same acidity. (b) The room temperature glass of water has a higher pH, and is more basic than the other glass of water. (c) Both glasses of water are neutral, so both will have a pH of 7.00. (d) The room temperature water has a lower pH, so is more acidic. (e) The warmer glass of water has a lower pH, and is more acidic than the other glass of water.arrow_forward650.0 mL of HBr gas at 21.0 °C and 1025 mm Hg is absorbed completely into a solution that was created by mixing 7.147 g of Na2CO3 and 250.0 g of water.
