Does anyone remember the bronsted lowry acid question ? What did it actually say? Will this equation work : NH4+ + OH- > NH3 + H2O ,.

I think if i remember correctly it was about weak acids brownsted theory for it i wrote:
Acids whose H+ ions dissociate incompletly in aqueous solution. Is it right?
And for equation: NH4 + H20= NH4OH + 0.5H2

no
you have wrote the definition of a weak arehenius acid
arhenius acid = a substance that dissolves in water to form H+ ions
bronsted lowery acid = proton doner (these acids can exist in any state not only aqueous)

anyways the definiton should have been

A weak bronsted lowery acid is one which partially donates proton.

But H+ ions are protons but i guess you're right about existing in any state

Check this reaction amonia is acting as an acid even though its a gas....arhenius theory(what you leant in o levels) can t explain this
Thats why In A levels They taught you Bronsted Lowery Theory of Acids..

abbas haider could you tell me whether that equation will work or not? ( the one that I have written above i.e. NH4 + + OH- --> NH3 + H2O. ) Did todays question specifically ask to show between NH4+ and H2O.. could you please tell me.. I am talking about varient 22
