1~ Which of the following is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid?

a). a substance the dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions [OH-]

b). any substance that can accept hydrogen ions [H+]

c). a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions [ H+]

d). any substance that can donate hydrogen ions [H+]


2~ Bronsted and Lowry defined an acid as which of the following?

a). substances that accepts a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond

b). substances that donates a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond

c). substance that donates H+ ions

d). substance that accepts H+ ions


3~ What is the [H+] of a solution with a pH of 5.0? Use a scientific calculator.

a). 5.0 x 10^-5

b). 7.7 x 10^5

c). 1.0 x 10^5

d). 2.5 x 10^-6

Verified Answer :

  1. The Brønsted-Lowry definition of an acid is D), acids donate electrons.

    2. Similarly, their definition of an acid is C), acids donate the H+ ions to other basic substances

    3. The formula for pH is: -log[H+]. in order to find the H+ in the equation, we need to take the antilog, which would give us another formula: 
    \(10^{-pH}\). Just plug in the ph value and we get \(1.0*10 x^{-5}\). The closest answer to that would be C). I'm not sure if there's a typo there, but it should be 1 x 10^-5

The first one is Acids donate electrons for the second one,acids donate the H+ ions to other basic substances, the third one is 1.0 x 10^5 hope this was easier then mexequin"s answer vote me as brainiest please
