Question

The following statements are either true = answer A, or false = answer B. Every Breasted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid. Every Arrhenius base is also a Lewis base. Every Breasted-Lowry acid is also an Arrhenius acid. Conjugate acids of weak bases produce more acidic solutions than conjugate acids of strong bases. The percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of the acid decreases. Aqueous solutions of Fe (NO_3)_3 have a pH of 7.00. Aqueous solutions of NaHSO_4 have a pH less than 7.00. Aqueous solutions of KHCO_3 have a pH greater than 7.00. The pH of a 0.100 M solution of HC_2 H_3 O_2 (aq) is 1.00. The pH of a 0.100 M solution of NaC_2 H_3 O_2 (aq) is greater than 7.00.

Explanation / Answer

Lewis acid is anything that can accept pair of electron, and lewis base is anything that donates electrons.

Bronsted acid is anything that gives H+, and bronsted base is anything that receive H+.

Arrhenius acids form hydrogen ions in aqueous solution with Arrhenius bases forming hydroxide ions

The very definition of a Lewis acid shows that Lewis acids are a superset of Brønsted-Lowry acids. A Lewis acid can accept an electron pair and form a bond. A Brønsted-Lowry acid can give up a proton which does exactly that, and thus every Brønsted-Lowry acid fits the definition of a Lewis acid.

so this is the reason why every bronsted lowry acid is lewis acid

in the arhenius acid it is
