Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

$\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}$

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

$H_2O$ accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is HCN

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is H2O

Why do some objects fall through the air at a different rate then others (this is for science)

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

the amount of air resistance depends upon the speed of the object, more massive objects fall faster than less massive objects because they are acted upon by a larger force of gravity; for this reason, they accelerate to higher speeds until the air resistance force equals the gravity force.
