According to the Brønsted–Lowry theory, a base is a species that:

Answer: accepts a proton.

  • A donates a proton
  • B accepts a proton
  • C releases OH⁻ ions
  • D gains electrons

Correct answer: B. accepts a proton

Explanation: A Brønsted–Lowry base is a proton acceptor; an acid is a proton donor.

ConcentrationTimeReactantsProductsequilibrium reached

As the reaction proceeds, reactant concentration falls and product concentration rises until both level off at equilibrium.

Concept context

When forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, equilibrium is reached. Learn about Kc, Kp, Le Chatelier's principle, and acid-base equilibria, including pH, buffer solutions, and solubility product.
