QUESTION:
Draw the products of the acid–base reaction when
a. HCl is the acid and \(NH_3\) is the base. b. \(H_2 O\) is the acid and \(^{-}NH_2\) is the base.
ANSWER:Solution 2P :
Step 1 of 3:
Here, we are asked to draw the products for the acid–base reaction :
First, let’s see what is an acid and base :
According to Bronsted and Lowry, an acid is a chemical specie that loses or donates a proton or hydrogen ions(H+) and a base is a chemical species that accepts a proton or hydrogen ions(H+) and the reaction of an acid with a base is called an acid–base reaction.
In an chemical reaction :
As we see above, in a chemical reaction, ‘A’ and ‘B’ are reactants and ‘C’ and ‘D’ are products.
