Transcript text: A Bronsted acid-base reaction is a form of proton transfer.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the nature of a Bronsted acid-base reaction
A Bronsted acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons (H\(^+\)) between reactants. In this type of reaction, a Bronsted acid donates a proton, and a Bronsted base accepts a proton.
Step 2: Evaluate the given options
Electron transfer: This is characteristic of redox reactions, not Bronsted acid-base reactions.
Proton transfer: This correctly describes the mechanism of a Bronsted acid-base reaction.
Precipitation reaction: This involves the formation of a solid from a solution, which is not related to proton transfer.
