Question

G brønsted-lowry proton transfer reaction, hydroxide functions as a/an ______.

Answer 1

Base

Step-by-step explanation:

A Brønsted-Lowry acid is simply a compound that supplies a hydrogen ion in a reaction. A Brønsted-Lowry base on the other hand, is a compound that accepts a hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Thus, the Brønsted-Lowry definitions of an acid and a base focus on the movement of hydrogen ions in a reaction, rather than on the production of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.

The hydroxide ion in these compounds accepts a proton (Hydrogen ion) from acids to form water: This means shydroxides functions as a base.

Answer 2

In a bronsted lowry proton transfer reaction, the hydroxide functions as a/an proton acceptor.

Bases are the opposite of acids. Bases are basic since they take or accept protons. For example, a Hydroxide ion can accept a proton to form water.
