Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3- Brønsted-Lowry Brønsted-Lowry Brønsted-Lowry Brønsted-Lowry In this reaction: The formula for the conjugate of HF is The formula for the conjugate of SO32- is

Explanation:

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.

On the other hand;

Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.

HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-

In the forward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HF

Bronsted-Lowry base: SO32-

In the backward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HSO3-

Bronsted-Lowry base: F-

The conjugate base of HF is F-

The conjugate acid of SO32- is HSO3-

the energy to form plasma comes from heat or electricity in the atmosphere!
