Ok, in order to answer this question, it's important to know what bronsted -lowry acid and base, how they are defined.
00:09
So a bronsted -lowry acid is a proton donor, proton being h+.
00:18
So it's something that donates an h +, while a base is something that is going to accept h+.
00:27
Ok? so a base is going to be a proton acceptor.
00:31
So when we look at the equation that we have here, nh4 plus plus hpo4 2 minus, and that's going to be yielding nh3 plus h2po4 1 minus.
00:50
So what we're going to look at is the nh3, or sorry, the nh4 on our reactant side pairs up with nh3 on the product side.
01:01
For nh4 to become nh3, it is going to donate a proton.
01:07
It donates an h+...
