Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're asked to identify if the given a mean reaction is an acid base reaction first. Let's go ahead and define what a bronze said. Lowry acid and a bronze said Lowry base means. So Brown said, larry acid is going to be a proton donor. While Lebron said Larry bass is going to be a proton. Except er looking at our reaction, we do in fact have an acid and a base since ethyl amine is our base and hydroponic acid is our acid. So when these two react, our bronze said, larry acid is going to be our hydro Tomic acid since it donates a proton to our ethyl amine while our ethyl amine is going to act as our bronze. It Lowry base since it accepts that proton. So this is going to be our products for the reaction. And again our bronze said Lowry acid was our hydro moronic acid, while our bronze of Lowry base was our ethyl amine. So I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
