1) Which of the following can behave as Bronsted-Lowry bases in aqueous solution? H 2 S I - Na + HNO 2 None of the Above 2) Which of the following can behave as Bronsted-Lowry bases in aqueous solution? NH 3 HClO 4 Br - HSO 3 - None of the Above Solution Ans 1 : I - According to the Bronsted lowry concept , the species that give off their protons are called as acids , and the ones that can accept it are called as bases. Since here iodide ion has -1 charge on it , it has the tendency to accept one hydrogen ions (proton) and become HI , so it behaves as bronsted lowry base. .
