Question

The definition of a neutralization reaction is one in which an acid reacts with a ase to produce water?

and a salt is inherent in

a) both the Bronsted lowry and the lewis theories

b) only the bronsted lowry theory

c) only the lewis theory

d) only the Arrhenius theory

e) both the Arrhenius and the Bronsted Lowry theories

Answer 1

Arrhenius - Acids Ionize to form H+ ions and Bases Ionize to form OH-

Brønsted-Lowry - Acids Donate Protons (H+) Bases Accept them

Lewis - Acid: an electron acceptor. Base: an electron donor.

so a lewis acid and a lewis base may not involve OH or H ions at all not fitting in with our definition so A and C are out

the Arrhenius definition definatly works with our reaction type so B is out

The Brønsted-Lowry definition also appears to work with the neutralization definition we are using so D is out

Leaving us with E
