  • Identifying Brønsted Bases: HCl, NH3, and NaOH - Chemistry Explanation
    A Bronsted base is a substance that can accept a proton (H+).

    - HCl is an acid, not a base. It donates a proton (H+).

    - NH3 is a base. It can accept a proton (H+) to form NH4+.

    - NaOH is a base. It can accept a proton (H+) to form H2O and Na+.

    So, the Bronsted bases in the given compounds are NH3 and NaOH.
