Question

2. Which of the following is true about a carbonated soft drink?. . The carbon dioxide is the solvent, and water is the solute.. . The water is the solution, and carbon dioxide is the solvent.. . The carbon dioxide is the solution, and the water is the solvent.. . The water is the solvent, and the carbon dioxide is the solute.. . . 3. For the reaction CH3COOH CH3COO + H+, which of the following statements is true?. . CH3COO is an Arrhenius base.. . CH3COO is a Lewis base.. . CH3COOH is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.. . CH3COOH is a Brønsted

Answer 1

Answer: 2. The water is the solvent, and the carbon dioxide is the solute.

3.
`CH_3COOH]` is a Brønsted-Lowry acid.

Explanation:

2. Solute is the dispersed phase of the solution and is present in small quantities whereas solvent is the dispersion medium and is present in large proportions. carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide dissolved in water and thus carbon dioxide is the solute and water is the solvent which together form a solution.

3. Bronsted lowry acid is a substance which donates
`H^+`. Bronsted lowry base is a substance which accepts
`H^+`.

Arrhenius acid is a substance which donates
`H^+` when dissolved in water.Arrhenius base is a substance which donates
`OH^-` when dissolved in water.

Lewis acid is a substance which accepts electrons. Lewis base is a substance which donates electrons.

`CH_3COOH\rightarrow CH_3COO+H^+`

Thus as acetic acid donates
`H^+` , it is considered as Bronsted-Lowry acid.

Answer 2

A carbonated soft drink hs a large amount of water dissolved with ample amount of carbon dioxide. In this case, the solvent is water and carbon dioxide is the solute. In 2, for the reaction CH3COOH = CH3COO + H+, CH3COOH is a Bronsted-Lowry acid because it releases a proton which is H+.
