For the reaction ch3cooh > ch3coo- + h+, which of the following statements is true? a.) ch3cooh is a bronsted lowry base. b.) ch3coo- is a bronsted lowry base. c.) ch3coo- is a conjugate base. d.) ch3coo- is an arrhenius base.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) is a Bronsted Lowry base.

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

The given reaction is,

In this reaction, acetic acid is a Bronsted Lowry-acid and is a Bronsted Lowry-base.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) is a Bronsted Lowry base.

b..

is the correct one

explanation:

covalent bonds form as valence electrons are shared between two atoms. lewis structures and structural formulas are common ways of showing the covalent bonding in organic molecules. formal charge describes the changes in the number of valence electrons as an atom becomes bonded into a molecule.
