Question:
The equilibrium constant for the
reaction below has the value Ka=3.5×10–4. In this reaction the
Brønsted-Lowry acid is ________.
HF(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + F-(aq)
Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Answer:
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as anything that releases
H+ ions. In this case a Fluorine acid dissociates to: HF=H+
+ F-
At the same time H2O
molecule accepts the H+ proton.
H2O+ H+= H3O+
So if the HF releases the H+,
it is the Brønsted-Lowry acid in this reaction.
