Q1


(i) "NH^+_4" is an acid . It donates "H^+"

(ii) "HClO_4" is an acid. It donates "H^+"

(ii) "CO_3^2" is basic.. Because it accepts "H^+"


(b) HClO"_4" acts as acid . it donates H+



According to Bronsted- Lowry theory, acid are donors of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (H+)


"HCO_3^-" is Bronsted Base, it accepts "H^+"


"HCO_3^-+H^+\\to\\>CO_2+H_2O"


"H_3O^+_{(aq)}" is conjugate acid, it donates H+


"H_3O^+\\to\\>H_2O+H^+"
