Key concepts
Why it matters
This objective helps connect Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases (A-level only) to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for Acids and bases (A-level only).
Quick student answer
Which of the following is a Brønsted-Lowry acid?
Direct answer
HCl is a Brønsted-Lowry acid because it donates protons (H+).
Key terms
- Proton Transfer: The process of transferring a proton (H+) from one species to another in a chemical reaction.
- Equilibrium Constant (Kc): A numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a reversible reaction.
Common trap
Confusing acids and bases: Remember that acids donate protons and bases accept protons.
