Consider the following ionization reaction. HNO3 (aq) + H20 () = NO,- (aq) + H2O* (aq)
a)
Define acid and base according to Bronsted-Lowry, and give an example of each.
(3 marks)
b) Identify all acids and its conjugate base pairs from the above equation.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid is a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.

Hence, if we consider the reaction above, we will notice that for each base there is a conjugate acid and for each acid there is a conjugate base.

For the acid HNO3, its conjugate base is NO3^- while for the acid H3O^+, its conjugate base is H2O.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
