Direction: Answer the
following questions and
write your correct and
precise answer on the
space provided.
1. How will you differentiate Bronsted Lowry acid
from Bronsted Lowry Based.
❖ A Bronsted-Lowry acid is any species that
donates a proton to another molecule. In
short, Bronsted Lowry acid is a proton
donor (PD).
❖ A Bronsted-Lowry base is any species that
accepts a proton from another molecule. In
short, Bronsted Lowry base is a proton
acceptor (PA).

2. Identify the proton donor and proton acceptor

based on the reaction; HBr + H2O → H3O+ + Br−

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2
❖ Bronsted Lowry – Acid
✓ HBr or Hydrobromic Acid is the proton

following questions and
write your correct and
precise answer on the
space provided. ❖ Bronsted Lowry – Base
✓ H2O or Water is the proton acceptor.

write your correct and
precise answer on the
space provided.
3. Give at least 5 household materials/substances.
Indicate their usage and determine their pH level
(is it considered as acid, neutral or base?)
1. Vinegar (ACID)
❖ Usage: People use it at home for cooking and it is
ideal as a cleaning agent because of its acidic nature.
❖ pH level: 2-3
2. Toothpaste (BASE)
❖ Usage: Toothpaste is used for brushing teeth.
❖ pH level: 7-10
3. Carbonated Beverages (ACID)
❖ Usage: People use it to drink.
❖ pH level: 2.5-3.5

❖ Usage: Soaps are also examples of strong bases used
for bathing and cleaning.
❖ pH level: 9-10
5. Muriatic Acid (ACID)
❖ Usage: Muriatic acid can be used to clean pools,
concrete, hardware, and plumbing.
❖ pH level: 1-2

4. Why is pH (power of hydrogen) important in food

industry? Explain and elaborate your answer.
❖ pH (power of hydrogen) is the measurement of the

temperatures kill the same quantity of
microorganisms as a high temperature and a short
time, but they can also induce more or less
significant changes in the smell, color, and taste of
food.
