Q
Q: What is the primary role of hydrogen in acid-base reactions?
Solution:
In acid-base reactions, hydrogen typically acts as a proton donor, which is characteristic of acids.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that acids and bases are two types of substances that can react with each other.
Step 2: Know that acids are substances that can donate protons (which are hydrogen ions, H+).
Step 3: Recognize that when an acid donates a proton, it releases hydrogen into the solution.
Step 4: Realize that in an acid-base reaction, the hydrogen (as a proton) is what makes the acid behave like an acid.
Step 5: Conclude that the primary role of hydrogen in these reactions is to act as a proton donor.
