Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brønsted-Lowry acids are proton (H⁺) donors. I (CH₃COOH, acetic acid) can donate a proton from its carboxyl group. II ([Cu(H₂O)₄]²⁺, a copper(II) complex with water) can donate a proton through one of its coordinated water molecules. III (H₂O, water) can donate a proton, acting as an acid in some reactions. V (H₃O⁺, hydronium ion) is a well-known proton donor. IV (CH₃NH₂, methylamine) is a base, not an acid, as it accepts protons.
