Answer:

C5H5H + H2O → C5H5NH+ + OH-

Explanation:

C5H5H + H2O → C5H5NH+ + OH-

C5H5N + H+ → C5H5NH+

C5H5N - Proton acceptor

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a solution that acts as a proton or hydrogen ion acceptor.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid on the other hand, is a solution that acts as a proton or hydrogen ion donor.

In our case; C5H5N is the Proton acceptor while H2O is the proton Donor.

Answer : The complete equation will be,

[tex]C_5H_5N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_5H_5NH^++OH^-[/tex]

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

The given reaction will be,

[tex]C_5H_5N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_5H_5NH^++OH^-[/tex]

In this reaction, [tex]C_5H_5NH^+[/tex] is act as a Bronsted Lowry-base by accepting one hydrogen ion from the water and [tex]OH^-[/tex] is act as a Bronsted Lowry-acid by donating one hydrogen ion to pyridine.
