Question

D) does not dissociate in solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the proton theory of acids and bases by J. Brønsted and T. Lowry, the  acid is proton donor.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted lowry concept an acid is substance that gives protons or hydrogen ion while,

Base is substance that accept hydrogen ion or proton.

Consider the following example:

NH₃ + HCl  →  NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

In this example HCl is Bronsted lowry acid it gives H⁺ while ammonia is Bronsted lowry base because it accept H⁺.

This also gives the concept of conjugate acid and base. In given example Cl⁻ is conjugate base of HCl while NH₄⁺ is conjugate acid of ammonia.
