which of these are a bronsted acid, a bronsted base or are both the bronsted acid and the bronsted base? 

PO4^3-          
ClO2-
NH4+
HCO3-
H2PO4-

Sagot :

We can classify the ion molecules as follows:

PO4^3-  = Bronsted Base
ClO2- = Bronsted Base
NH4+ = Bronsted Acid
HCO3- = Both
H2PO4- = Both

For a Bronsted-Lowry acid and bases, an acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor. A base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
