Question

Write a reaction in which water ats as base

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this reaction, the water molecule donates a proton to the NO2− ion, making OH−(aq). As the proton donor, H2O acts as a Brønsted-Lowry acid. In this reaction, the water molecule accepts a proton from HC2H3O2, becoming H3O+(aq). As the proton acceptor, H2O is a Brønsted-Lowry base.
