How can you safely determine the difference between an acid or a base?

The DIFFERENCE ?! I think you mean distinguish an acid from a base, which needs an indicator, like red cabbage solution(turns yellowish with acid, darker with base) Phenolphtaline(Turns violet with a base) Red/Blue litmus paper(RLP turns blue with a base, and BLP turns red with an acid) and finally a pH meter/paper.

What describes species that are related by a difference in protons?

Species that are related by a difference in protons typically refer to different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons they contain. This difference in neutron number affects the atomic mass of the element.

Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.


Which of the following best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?

A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.
