Complete these Bronsted-Lowry reactions.
reaction 1: H2PO4– + H+ ⇌
reaction 2: H2PO4– + OH– ⇌
♦ Relevant knowledge

Bronsted-Lowry theory suggests that acids are proton donor whereas bases are proton acceptor. It’s a more comprehensive classification of bases and acids as compared to Arrhenius theory due to the fact that bases are Bronsted bases that don’t make hydroxide when dissolving in water. This is similar to ammonia.

    SOLUTION:

    REACTION 1:

    H2PO4– + H+ → H3PO4

    In this case, H2PO4– is Bronsted-Lowry base and it accept proton (H+).

    REACTION 2:

    H2PO4– + OH– → HPO42- + H2O

    H2PO4–  acts Bronsted-Lowry acid and it gives proton (H+).
