Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) A Bronsted-Lowry base must contain an atom that can accept a proton.
(2) Both acidic and nonacidic hydrogen atoms may be present in an acid molecule.
(3) The molar hydronium ion concentration in a solution of pH 6.0 is 1 ? 10^-6.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) True, as a Bronsted-Lowry base is defined by its ability to accept a proton, which necessitates the presence of an atom capable of forming a bond with a hydrogen ion (H+). 2) True, because an acid molecule can contain hydrogen atoms that do not participate in acid-base reactions, in addition to the acidic hydrogen atoms that can donate a proton. 3) True, the molar concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in a solution with a pH of 6.0 is indeed 1 × 10^-6 M, as pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydronium ion concentration.
