2. Explain (using Bronsted-Lowry Theory) why the following reactions are the acid and base reaction.
a. HCl(aq) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
b. NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(g)
3. The reactions below are the reaction of acid and base:
F−(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HF(aq) + OH−
HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) ⇌ NH4+(aq) + Cl−(aq)
Determine:
a. Acid – base conjugate and base-acid conjugate.
b. The definition of base conjugate/acid conjugate.
4. Explain (using the reactions) why H2O, based on bronsted-lowry theory, is considered as amphother!
5. Explain the case below:
a. AlCl3 is a Lewis acid, lewis base, or both? Explain your answer using the dot-and-cross diagram of AlCl3!
b. Fe3+ can forms Fe(H2O)63+ when contact to water. Below is the structure of Fe(H2O)63+.

Why this can be classified as acid and base Lewis?
