ANSWER:
Solution 19P
Step 1 of 4:
Here, we are asked to show the movement of electrons using curved arrows:
a.
Here, the O atom that is double-bonded gains a proton and H3O+ loses a proton with oxygen retaining the electrons it shared with the proton. Thus, the O atom that gained a proton becomes positively charged, and the O atom that lost a proton has no charge.
