Date: ame: 12. In a solution, the solvent A) is never a solid. B) is the substance in the smallest amount. C) is a liquid. D) can be a liquid or gas. E) can be a solid, liquid, or gas. 13. Which of the following is a Bronsted-Lowry base but not an Arrhenius base? A) Al(OH) 14. What kind of substance is water in the following reaction? H2O(l) + HCN(aq)--? Hyo (aq) + CN (aq) A) A Lewis acid B) A Bronsted-Lowry acid C) An Arrhenius acid D) An Arrhenius base E) A Bronsted-Lowry base 15. Which of the following is NOT an acid-base conjugate pair? A) H2CO3 and HCO3. B) H20 and OH- C) H2S and OH- D) NH4+ and NH3 E) none of the above Solution 12. In a solution the solvent is present in more quantity and is a gas or a liquid. So option D is correct. 13.The Bronsted - Lowry Theory of acids and bases .,A base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor. An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when dissolved in an aqueous solution, increases the concentration of hydroxide, or OH-, ions in the solution. Here HSO3- is a Bronsted base but not Arrhenius base Therefore option D is correct. 14.In this water can accepts a proton to produce H3O+ so it is a Bronsted-Lowery base. So option E is correct. 15.A congugate acid-is base pair is the one which differs by a proton that is H+. In the given set of options all are correct which differs by a proton so option E is correct. .
