Answer:

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory, acids are those substances that dissolved in water divide generating H⁺ together with an anion (ion with negative charge). In an aqueous solution, H⁺ protons immediately react with water molecules to form H₃O⁺ hydronium ions. A base, on the contrary, according to this theory, is a substance that liberates OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution.

This theory is valid only in aqueous medium.

You know: NH₃(g) + H₂O(l) → NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

In this case, the water dissociates with the formation of hydrogen ions, H⁺, which NH₃ accepts to form the NH₄⁺ ion. So the water acts as an acid.

On the other hand, in reaction:

NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → NH₃(g) + H₂O(l)

NH₄⁺ dissociates with the formation of hydrogen ions, H⁺, which water accepts to form the H₃O⁺ ion. So NH₄⁺ acts as an acid.

For reaction: NH₃(g<span>) + </span>H₂O(l<span>) → </span>NH₄⁺(aq<span>) + </span>OH⁻(aq), water (H₂O) is donor of proton (H⁺) and ammonia (NH₃) is acceptor of proton (base).
For reaction: NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → NH₃(g) + H₂O(l) , NH₄⁺ is acid (donor of proton (H⁺)) and hydroxy anion (OH⁻) is base (acceptor of proton).
According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺<span>).</span>

Which two properties are used to define matter?
Fantom [35]
The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal) and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.
