Is FeBr3 a Bronsted Lowery base?
It is a Bronsted-Lowery base because the carbonyl oxygens will readily accept a proton.
Which compound can act as both a bronsted-lowry acid and a bronstey-lowry base?
Ammonia (NH3) --> can become NH2- or NH4+ Water (H2O) --> can become OH- or H3O+
What are examples of acids and base?
removing the my new software from my computer. then after suddenly receive that program from recycle bin. The software is most participator of our computer. Its crates a lot of lose data in computer.
What is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acid?
According to this concept an acid is a compound which donates a proton (H+). for example, HA + H2O ------------> A- + H3O+ acid water base hydronium ion
What type of chemical reaction is NH3 plus H2O NH4OH?
Ammonia Reaction Isn't SYNTHESIS REACTION?

Which is a conjugate acid base pair in the following equation HS- plus H2O equals S-2 plus H30?
This is a Bronsted question. Hs- is the acid in this which makes H2O a base. Therefore S-2 is the conjugate base and the H3O+ hydronium ion is the conjugate acid.

Does A base is a compound that produces OH ions in solution?
There are Bronsted-Lowry bases and Lewis bases... Brønsted bases accept protons (H+) and Lewis bases donate electrons... So something like H2O + H2O--> H3O (hydronium) + -OH would mean that H2O is a Bronsted base and acid. You have to look at it in context.
Why can water act as an acid or a base in a bronsted lowry reaction?
Because a bronsted-lowry acid donates proton such as ( H+ ) and water can donate H+ such as ( H2O + NH3 ---> NH4+ + OH- ) here water donated H+ to ammonia to produce NH4 ( which is an acid )

Is HCO3 both a bronsted acid and base?
HCO3- is both an acid and a base. It can donate a "proton" (hydrogen ion) as follows:HCO3(-) = H(+) + CO3(-2)orHCO3(-) + OH(-) = H2O + CO3(-2)It can also absorb a proton:HCO3(-) + H(+) = H2CO3Which occurs depends on the pH of the solution. The pKa values are given here:What_is_pka_value_for_sodium_bicarbonateH2CO3 is known as "carbonic acid". It can decompose into water and carbon dioxideH2CO3 = H2O + CO2
Li2O H2O acid or base?
Lithium Oxide is a base because when it is added to an acid for example Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) it is neutralised. Acid + Base is a neutralisation reaction. + Plus look at Arhenius's explanation on the theory of acid reactions and Bronsted lowry's theory on acids and bases. Because somewhere in there they talk about somthing that might help you a bit more if you are not confident with my answer.
What is the acid and what is the base in the reaction HBr H2O - Br- H2O?
acid is hbr and the base is h2o
In the reaction co32- H2O -- hco3- oh- the carbonate ion is acting as an a arrhenius base b arrhenius acid c bronsted-lowry base d bronsted-lowry acid?
The Bronsted-Lowry definition describes acids as being proton (H+) donators and bases as being proton acceptors. So the answer would be C, because the carbonate anion is accepting a proton (H+ cation) to become the HCO3-
