Question

Using the reaction below, identify the species that re acting as acids , as described by Bronstead-Lowry. HBO3-2(aq) + H2PO4-(aq) ↔ HPO4-2(aq) + H2BO3-(aq)

Answer 1

Acids: $\text{H}_{2}\text{PO}_{4}^{\text{ }-}$ and $\text{H}_{2}\text{BO}_{3}^{\text{ } -}$

Bases: $\text{HBO}_{3}^{\text{ } 2-}$ and $\text{HPO}_{4}^{\text{ } 2-}$
