Question

6. Identify the correct statement about the reaction:
AX3 + HY - AX3H+ + Y-
a. HY is an acid.
b. HY is a proton donor.
C. AX3 is a base.
d. All are correct.​

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is d.

• The given reaction is $AlX_3+HY\rightarrow AX_3H^++Y^-$
• An acid is a species that donates its hydrogen ion or proton. Here HY donates its proton so, it is an acid.
• HY donates proton so, it is a proton donor.
• The species that accepts a proton is called the base. Here AX3 accepts the proton and acts as a base.
• Thus all the options are correct.
