Answer: An acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base.
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.
An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below
CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)
Thus, ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.
Answer:
looking at this triggered my fight or flight.
Explanation:
The positive plate is made of lead grid with a lead oxide paste coating and the negative plate is porous lead. Dilute sulphuric acid is the electrolyte. The lead acid battery produced a direct current or DC during a chemical reaction that turns lead dioxide to lead sulphate and sulphuric acid to water.
