Answer : The Bronsted-Lowry theory was not against the Arrhenius theory, rather it was just a modification to the previous theory of acids and bases. Hydroxide ions are considered as bases because they have the tendency to accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water.

An acid was the one which produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.

In a nutshell, he described bases as hydrogen acceptor and acids as hydrogen donors.

Acid = donor (giver) proton (H + ion)

Base = acceptor (receiver) proton (H + ion)

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Based on Bronsted-Lowry Theory, acid is an ion/molecule that acts as a proton donor (H +) to other ions/molecules. While bases are ions/molecules that act as proton acceptors (H +).

If an acid gives its proton (H +), then the rest of the acid can accept the proton and function as the conjugate base of the acid

Conversely, if a base is a proton acceptor (H +), then the ion/molecule formed can release the proton and function as a conjugate acid from that base. In general, these conjugate acid-base pairs can be described as follows:

Example

NH₃ (aq) + H₂O (l) ------> NH₄ + (aq) + OH– (aq)

Basa Asam Asam Basa

The acid-base conjugate pair is:

NH₃ and NH₄

H₂O and OH-

H₂O as an acid gives a proton to NH₃ so that it becomes NH₄ so that the remaining OH- as its conjugate base

While NH₃ as a base and NH₄ as a conjugate acid

Example 2:

HOCN + H₂O ------> H₃O⁺ + OCN⁻

The conjugate base of HOCN is OCN⁻ because OCN⁻ is the proton acceptor of H⁺ to form HOCN (as an acid)

What is the relative atomic mass of an element
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

20.2 amu.

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope ²⁰X

Let B represent isotope ²²X

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Isotope A (²⁰X):

Mass of A = 20

Abundance (A%) = 90%

For Isotope B (²²X):

Mass of B = 22

Abundance (A%) = 10%

Relative atomic mass (RAM) =?

The relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element can be obtained as follow:

RAM = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]

RAM = [(20 × 90)/100] + [(22 × 10)/100]

RAM = 18 + 2.2

RAM = 20.2 amu

Thus, relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element is 20.2 amu

How do genetic factors influence the formation of "dead zones” around creosote bushes?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Genetic factors contributes to the formation of the dead zones is by their ability to expand their abilities that enables them to spread and contribute to the formation of the dead zones. These dead zones are made when the oxygen are low where it is necessarily important for the aquatic life, if the oxygen needed is depleted or too low, instead of supporting aquatic life, dead zones are created and factors contribute to these occurrences with their ability to expand.
