It donates electrons to a base.

It accepts a proton from another substance.

It donates a proton to a base. (correct)

It remains neutral during a reaction.

In the Bronsted-Lowry theory, what is a base characterized by?

A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in solution.

A substance that donates electrons to the surrounding environment.

A substance that has no effect on the solution's acidity.

A substance that accepts a proton from an acid. (correct)

NH3 + H2O ⇌ NH4+ + OH− (correct)

H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl

CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2

Study Notes

Bronsted-Lowry Acids

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton (H+)
A proton is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, which consists of a single positively charged particle

Bronsted-Lowry Bases

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton (H+)

Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Reactions

In a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, a proton is transferred from an acid to a base
The acid loses a proton and becomes its conjugate base
The base gains a proton and becomes its conjugate acid
Example of a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction: HCl (acid) + H2O (base) -> H3O+ (conjugate acid) + Cl- (conjugate base)

Ionization of Bronsted-Lowry Acids in Water

When a Bronsted-Lowry acid ionizes in water, it donates a proton to a water molecule
The water molecule acts as a base and accepts the proton, forming the hydronium ion (H3O+)

Conjugate Base of Hydrochloric Acid

The conjugate base of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is chloride ion (Cl-)
When HCl acts as a Bronsted-Lowry acid, it donates a proton (H+), leaving behind the chloride ion (Cl-)
