Question

Which of the following shows a Bronsted-Lowry acid reacting?

CO + NO2 CO2 + NO
NH3 + H+ NH4+ co2/3 + H+ HCO3–
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl–

Answer 1

HCl + H2O Right arrow. H3O+ + Cl–

Explanation:D is the answer

Answer 2

Option-C: HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

Step-by-step explanation:

Bronsted-Lowery concept of Acid and Base defines Acid as that specie which tends to donate H⁺ (Hydrogen Ion) and bases are those species which accepts H⁺ from Acids.

In selected option, HCl is reacting as Acid as it donates H⁺ to water (lowery bronsted base).

Also, the correspong acid is converted into conjugate base (i.e. Cl⁻) and base is converted into conjugate acid (i.e. H₃O⁺)
