Answer:
For the reaction CH3COOH→CH3COO– + H+
Among the given statements which is the correct statement?
CH3COOH is a Brønsted-Lowry base.
CH3COO– is an Arrhenius base.
CH3COOH is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
CH3COO– is a Lewis base.
Explanation:
Bronsted acid is the proton donor.
Bronsted base is the proton acceptor.
Arrhenius base is the one that releases OH- ions when dissolved in water.
Lewis base is the one that is an electron-pair donor.
In the given reaction,
CH3COOH→CH3COO– + H+
Acetic acid releases a proton.
So, it is a proton donor.
Hence, It is a Bronsted-Lowry acid.
Third option is the correct answer.
