Which of the following statements on acid base reactions involving organometallic compounds are CORRECT? I. Diethyl ethers are commonly used as reaction solvents. II. Bronsted-Lowry reactions are carried out in the presence of hydroxyl, -OH bearing compounds. III. Hydroxyl, -OH bearing compounds in the reaction act as Bronsted bases. IV. Organometallic compounds in the reaction act as Bronsted bases.
guys the answer is I,II,IV. i just don't understand choice III. Bronston base accept H so OH can accept proton to become H2O? can you explain?
