Comment upon H 2 O as an Arrhenius acid/base, Bronsted–Lowry acid/base and Lewis acid/base.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
H 2 O – Arrhenius acid, Arrhenius base, Bronsted–Lowry acid, Bronsted–Lowry base, Lewis base but not Lewis acid.
H 2 O upon dissociation produces both H + and OH – ions ; both donates and accepts H + forming OH – and H 3 O + respectively ; can donate lone pair but cannot accept lone pair due to non-availability of vacant orbitals on it.
