Which of the following shows a bronsted-lowry acid reacting? co + no2 co2 + no nh3 + h+ nh4+ co2/3 + h+ hco3– hcl + h2o h3o+ + cl–

         Option-C:  HCl + H₂O  →   H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

Explanation:

       Bronsted-Lowery concept of Acid and Base defines Acid as that specie which tends to donate H⁺ (Hydrogen Ion) and bases are those species which accepts H⁺ from Acids.

In selected option, HCl is reacting as Acid as it donates H⁺ to water (lowery bronsted base).

Also, the correspong acid is converted into conjugate base (i.e. Cl⁻) and base is converted into conjugate acid (i.e. H₃O⁺)

what are the choices?
