Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
H2O(l) + HCl(g) --> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq).
According to one acid-base theory, the H2O(l) molecules

A. accept H+ ions
B. accept OH- ions
C. donate H+ ions
D. donate OH- ions

Respuesta :

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, the H₂O(l) molecules is a base.

What is Bronsted-Lowry acid and base?

Bronsted-Lowry acids are those substance which gives H⁺ ion and bases are those species which accepts H⁺ ion in an aqueous solution.

From the given chemical reaction it is clear that water molecule (H₂O) act as a Bronsted-Lowry base as they accepts H⁺ ion. And HCl is a Bronsted-Lowry acids as they gives H⁺ ion.

Hence H₂O is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
