Question

What is the Brønsted-Lowry base in this reaction: NH2−+CH3OH→NH3+CH3O−?(1 point)CH3O−cap c cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the negative power
NH3cap n cap h sub 3

CH3OHcap c cap h sub 3 cap o cap h

NH2−cap n cap h sub 2 raised to the negative power

Answer 1

In the reaction as follows: NH2- + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.

BRØNSTED-LOWRY BASE:

• According to Bronsted-Lowry definition of a base and acid, a base is substance that accepts an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while an acid is a substance that donates a proton.

• According to this reaction given as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3+ CH3O-

1. NH2- is a reactant that accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) to become NH3+
2. NH3+CH3OH is a reactant that donates hydrogen ion (H+)

• Since NH2- accepts a proton, this means that in the reaction as follows: NH2 + CH3OH → NH3 + CH3O−, NH2- is the Brønsted-Lowry base.
