Hello. In this problem we are asked which of the following can be classified as only a bronze it and lower base. So recall that a bronze did. And Lowry base is a proton except er and a bronze. Dead and Lowry acid is a proton donor and a we have ammonia. Ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that it can donate to the proton To form ammonia mines. Ammonia is a proton except er The next one we have what is called acetic acid which is president vinegar and it is a proton donor. C is hydrochloric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is capable of donating a proton and the last one brawn. Dry chloride is referred to as a lewis acid. It is a electron pair except her not a proton except her. So on our list are only crossed. And Lowry base is A which is ammonia. Thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
