Can a base donate an H ION?
Generally, a base will accept an H+ ion rather than donate one. In some cases a substance that normally acts as a base can donate an H+ ion, but in that situation, it is said to be acting as an acid. A substance that can act as both an acid and a base is said to be amphoteric. As and example, the bicarbonat ion, HCO3+ is generally considered a base, as it accepts a hydrogen ion to form carbonic acid, H2CO3, however, n some cases it can donate its remaining H+ ion to a stronger base to form a carbonate ion CO32+. This can be seen in the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide. NaHCO3 + NaOH --> Na2CO3 + H2O The bicarbonate ion, acts as an acid, donating a hydrogen ion to the hydroxide ion, forming a carbonate ion and a water molecule.
Why is methylamine a bronsted-lowry base but not an arrhenius base?
Because it may accept the proton but can not donate the 'OH-' ion.
Which ion is the strongest base?
H- hydranion
What kind of ion does a base release?
The kind of ion is an H+-ion, also called a proton.
What kind of ion does acids donate?
Acids donates protons in the reaction.Simply protons are H+ ions.

Why acid does not reacts with acids?
Acids don't react with acids because acids are proton donors. This means that an acid will donate a H+ ion to the substance with which it reacts. Since both acids will donate a H+ ion to each other, nothing happens, and there is no reaction.
An acid is a molecule that donates what?
Acid donates a hydrogen ion, a proton, to a solution. H +
How is acid and base a different meaning?
An acid contain the ion H+ or (COOH)+ and a base contain the ion (OH)-.
Is Naf a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
NaF is a Lewis base. the F- ion has electron pairs that it can donate for bonding.
When a base is added to a buffer solution the buffer will?
donate H+ ions
Can OH- function as a Lewis base?
Yes, the OH- ion has 3 lone pairs that it can potentially donate
How do you find conjugate acid?
By adding one (1) proton (H+ ion) to the base formula:example:(base ammonia) NH3 + H+(proton) --> (conjugated acid ammonium ion) NH4+
