In each of the following equations, identify the reactant that is a Brønsted–Lowry acid and the reactant that is a Brønsted–Lowry base: a. HBr(aq) + H2O(l) → Br–(aq) + H3O+(aq) b. CN–(aq) + H2O(l) → HCN(aq) + OH–(aq)

Identify each reactant and product in the following chemical reactions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid, a BrønstedLowry base, or neither. Arrange the species in each reaction as conjugate acid-base pairs. (a) $\mathrm{HNO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ (b) $\mathrm{HPO}_{4}^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-}$ (c) $\mathrm{NH}_{3}+\mathrm{H}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2}+\mathrm{NH}_{2}$ (d) $\mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$ (e) $\mathrm{NH}_{4}{ }^{+}+\mathrm{HSO}_{3}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{3}$
