Question

Using a suitable chemical equation define HCl as a Bronsted Lowry Acid

Answer 1

HCl(aq) + H2O (l) → H3O+(aq) +Cl−(aq) Using the Brønsted-Lowry theory, the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid in water is represented by the following equation: NH3(aq) + HCl(aq) → NH4+(aq) + Cl−(aq) Hydrochloric acid and the chlorine ion are one conjugate acid-base pair, and the ammonium ion.
