Answer:

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

HF-(aq) + H2O(l) --> F-(aq) + H3O(aq)

A bronsted lowry base is any specie that can accept hydrogen ion (proton) from another molecule.

Basically a bronsted lowry base is a proton acceptor while a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor.

In the reaction above, upon comparing both the reactants and products;

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-

Identify the substances in this reaction:

lukranit [14]

Answer:

is an aqueous reactant

is a liquid product

is a gaseous product

Explanation:

$H_2CO_3$ ⇔ $CO_2 + H_2O$

Hydrogen carbonate dissocates to form carbon dioxide and water. The acid (hydrogen carbonate) is in aqueous form and it dissociates to water (liquid) and carbon dioxide (a gas). It is also seen that the hydrogen carbonate is on the reactant side and it dissociates to produce water and carbon dioxide.

W $H_2CO_3$ is an aqueous reactant (a reactant undergoes changes in a chemical reaction

$H_2O$ is a liquid product (product refers to the species produced from chemical reaction)
