Question

Identify the correct statement about the reaction : AX 3 + HY → AX 3H + + Y -
a) HY is an acid b) HY is a proton donor C) AX 3 is an acid d) AX 3 is a base​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water.

Answer 2

The correct statements are a, b and d.

• The given reaction is -
• $AX_3+HY\rightarrow AX_3H^++Y^-$
• The species which donates its proton or hydrogen Ion is called an acid. Thus here HY donates its proton so, it is an acid.
• As HY donates its proton so, it also acts as a proton donor.
• The species which accepts proton or hydrogen Ion is called a base. Thus here AX3 accepts a proton so, it is a base.
