For the reaction ch3cooh > ch3coo- + h+, which of the following statements is true? a.) ch3cooh is a bronsted lowry base. b.) ch3coo- is a bronsted lowry base. c.) ch3coo- is a conjugate base. d.) ch3coo- is an arrhenius base.

Answer : The correct option is, (B) is a Bronsted Lowry base.

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

The given reaction is,

In this reaction, acetic acid is a Bronsted Lowry-acid and is a Bronsted Lowry-base.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) is a Bronsted Lowry base.
