Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.101 Acid Base Models skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the decision-tree image for choosing an acid-base model. Which rule is the best first step when classifying an unfamiliar reaction?

ACheck whether every reactant contains OH-, then ignore electron pairs.

BClassify the reaction as Arrhenius whenever a product is neutral.

CUse Lewis only for reactions that happen in water and release H3O+.

DCheck for proton transfer, then check for electron-pair donation and acceptance if no proton transfer is present.

Solution & Explanation:A practical approach is to look for H+ transfer first, then use Lewis electron-pair reasoning for reactions without proton transfer. Arrhenius is especially tied to aqueous H3O+/OH- behavior.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Water donates a lone pair to H+ to form H3O+ during an acid-base reaction. Which statement correctly connects the two model labels?

AH2O is a Bronsted-Lowry acid and a Lewis acid because oxygen has lone pairs.

BH+ is a Lewis base because it has no electrons to donate.

CH2O is a Bronsted-Lowry base and a Lewis base; H+ is the proton accepted and the electron-pair acceptor.

DThe reaction is Arrhenius only and cannot be interpreted with proton-transfer or electron-pair models.

Solution & Explanation:Water accepts H+, so it is a Bronsted-Lowry base. Its oxygen lone pair bonds to H+, so water is also the Lewis base and H+ is the Lewis acid.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Compare two reactions: NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH- and NH3 + BF3 -> F3B-NH3. Which statement best connects them?

ANH3 acts as an Arrhenius acid in both because it contains hydrogen.

BNH3 acts as an electron-pair donor in both, but only the water reaction is Bronsted-Lowry proton transfer.

CBF3 donates H+ to NH3, while water accepts an electron pair from NH3.

DBoth reactions are Lewis-only and cannot be described by proton transfer.

Solution & Explanation:NH3 uses its lone pair in both reactions. With water it accepts H+; with BF3 it donates a lone pair to boron without proton transfer.
