Why does a strong acid react differently in water than a strong base?
Depending on the type of acid/base (Arrhenius, Bronsted, Lewis), the acid donates protons and a base doesn't but accepts protons, or the base donates OH- and the acid doesn't, or the acid accepts a pair of electrons and the base donates a pair of electrons. They are just different, that's why.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
Which pairing matches the type of substance with the item in donates?
To accurately pair a type of substance with the item it donates, one must consider the substance's properties and its role in a reaction or process. For example, an acid donates protons (H⁺ ions) in a chemical reaction, while a base donates hydroxide ions (OH⁻). In the context of solutions, a solute donates its molecules to a solvent to create a homogeneous mixture. Each pairing highlights the specific donating action of the substance in question.
What happens in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
What occurs to the reducing agent in a reduction reactions?
An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.
What type of reactions occur when one substance donates electrons and another substance accepts those electrons?
That reaction is called Ionic bonding. Hope I helped, 2000AD
How can one determine a Bronsted-Lowry acid and base?
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton (H) in a chemical reaction, while a Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton. To determine if a substance is a Bronsted-Lowry acid or base, you can look at its behavior in a reaction - if it donates a proton, it is an acid, and if it accepts a proton, it is a base.
What is a reducing agent in chemistry?
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
What is a reductant force?
A reductant force is a force that contributes to reducing or decreasing the size, strength, or intensity of something. In chemistry, it refers to a substance that donates electrons in a redox reaction, causing another substance to be reduced by gaining those electrons.
What happens in a bronsted lowry acid-base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
What definition best describe an acid?
An acid is a substance that donates a proton or accepts an electron pair in a chemical reaction. Acids typically have a sour taste and can turn blue litmus paper red.

If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
What happens in a Bronsted-Lowry acid base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. (apex).
What happens in a Bronsted- Lowry acid-base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. (apex).
