In the equation below, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid, the Brønsted-Lowry base, conjugate acid, conjugate base.

Explanation:

Your B-L Acid is a proton (Hydrogen, H+) donor, and your B-L base is a proton acceptor. This means that the base will take a hydrogen from your acid. NO2- is a B-L base, and you can tell it is a base by the negative charge it possesses. This means that it has a lone pair that wants to grab one of the hydrogens from NH4+, the B-L acid. In scientific words, the NO2- is a nucleophile and NH4+ is an electrophile. The result of NO2- grabbing that hydrogen from NH4+ is that NO2- becomes HNO2 (your conjugate acid) and and NH4+ becomes NH3 (you conjugate base). Basically, any time a B-L acid loses a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate base, and any time a B-L base gains a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate acid.

I hope this helped explain the concept behind Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases! Good luck with your class and please don't forget to give a positive rating! :-)

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
