Chapter 8, Problem 8.39AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the species that acts as a BrØnsted acid with pKa=8.3 is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An electron deficient compound such as H+ that accepts a pair of electrons is known as Lewis acid. On the other hand, the electron rich compound such as OH that donates a pair of electrons is known as Lewis base.

The BrØnsted acid is one that donates a proton, whereas the BrØnsted base is a proton acceptor.
