Define the following: bronsted-lowry acid - lewis acid- strong acid - (5 points) problem 6: consider the following acid base reaction hci + h20 → h30+ + cl- a) is this a strong acid? b) clearly label the acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base. (5 points)

Yes, is a strong acid.

acid = , conjugate base = , base = , conjugate acid =

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give ions.

For the given chemical equation:

Here, is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms which is a conjugate base.

And, is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid =  

conjugate base =

base =

conjugate acid = .
