Concept Introduction:
A substance is said to be acidic if it can give hydrogen ions (
Another theory that is purposed by Bronsted and Lowery is said to be Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. It states that acid can give

- The dihydrogen phosphate ion has the ability to act as an acid in the presence of a base and as a base in the presence of an acid. What is this property called? Illustrate this behavior with water by writing BrnstedLowry acidbase reactions. Also illustrate this property by selecting a common acid and base to react with the dihydrogen phosphate ion.arrow_forward. Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration, in moles per liter, tor solutions with each of the following pH values. a. pH =9.01 b. pH = 6.89 c. pH = 1.02 d. pH=7.00arrow_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
