H2so4 + nh3  hso4 - + nh4 + 12. h2so4 goes to hso4 - a) did it gain or lose a proton? b) is it a brønsted -lowery acid or base? 13. nh3 goes to nh4 + a) did it gain or lose a proton? b) is it a brønsted -lowery acid or base?

Equation is as follow,

                                 H₂SO₄ + NH₃   →   HSO₄⁻ + NH₄⁺

H₂SO₄ goes to HSO₄⁻:

a) H₂SO₄ has lost one proton.

b) It is a Brønsted -Lowery acid as it has donated H⁺.

NH₃ goes to NH₄⁺:

a) NH₃ has gained proton.

b) It is a Brønsted -Lowery base as it has accepted proton.
