Ethanol (ethyl alcohol), CH3CH2OH, can act as a Bronsted-Lowry acid. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as an acid with hydroxide ion, OH-. Ethanol can also react as a Bronsted-Lowry base. Write the chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol as a base with hydronium ion, H3O+. Explain how you arrived at these chemical equations. Both of these reactions can also be considered Lewis acid-base reactions. Explain this.
