Question

Which of the following best describes a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?

O
A Acid + conjugate acid = base + conjugate base
O
B
Acid + conjugate base = base + conjugate acid
O
c Acid + base = conjugate base + conjugate acid
O
Acid + base = metal + nonmetal

Answer 1

The answer is C

Acid + base = conjugate base + conjugate acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct answer for ridiculously hard APEX TEST!

Answer 2

c Acid + base = conjugate base + conjugate acid

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, the original acid gives up its proton and becomes a conjugate base. In like manner, the original base accepts a proton and becomes a conjugate acid. For every acid, there is a conjugate base and for every base, there is a conjugate acid:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

acid conjugate base

B + H⁺ ⇄ HB⁺

base conjugate acid
