What is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid?

Chemistry

victus00 [196]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is that a compound that donates protons.  

On the basis of Bronsted-Lowry concept, a compound which accepts proton is considered as a base and the compound which donates protons is considered to be an acid. The strong acids and bases get ionized completely in aqueous solution, while the weak acids and weak bases get ionize partially.  

The conjugate base is illustrated as the species that is produced after the loss of proton of acid, while the conjugate acid refers to the species that is produced after the gain of protons.  

Thus, the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid is a compound that donates protons.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if 5.00 moles of zinc reactions with an excess amount of sulfuric acid
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles

Explanation:

The balanced Chemical equation for reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid is :

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

This equation tells that ; when  1 mole of Zn react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid, it produces 1 mole of zinc sulfate and 1 mole of hydrogen.

Since sulfuric acid is in excess so Zinc is the limiting reagent

(Limiting reagent : Substance which get consumed when the reaction completes, limiting reagent helps in predicting the amount of products formed)

Limiting reagent (Zn) will decide the amount of Hydrogen produced

Zn(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)

1\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 1\ mole\ H_{2}

So,

5\ mole\ zinc\rightarrow 5\ mole\ H_{2}

Hence moles of Hydrogen produced is 5 moles
