The Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid is one of three acid definitions that can be used on the MCAT. The three definitions are as follows:
Arrhenius acid: increases H+ concentration in water (releases an H+)
Bronsted-Lowry acid: donates a proton to a Bronsted base (Bronsted bases accept protons)
Lewis acid: accepts a pair of electrons from a Lewis base (Lewis bases donate electrons)
An easy way to remember the difference between Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis is that the "e" in Lewis comes before the "e" in Bronsted; therefore the Lewis definition has to do with electrons.

Which of the following is not a Lewis acid?
The definition of a Lewis acid is an electron acceptor. Try drawing the Lewis dot structures for these compounds, and you will find that NH4+, Na+, and Al3+ are missing electrons. They each have an empty orbital, allowing them to accept electrons.
BF3 is not an ion; however, we know that boron only has 3 valence electrons, which means that even when they are all bound to fluorine the molecule does not satisfy the octet rule. BF3 only has 6 valence electrons around boron, and can accept another electron pair to get to the octet state.
CaO is a Lewis base. In the Lewis dot structure, we can see that the oxygen molecule has two lone pairs that it can donate to other molecules, making it an electron donor.

Which of the following is the strongest acid?
Hydroiodic acid (HI) is the strongest acid listed. Charge density decreases as the atomic size gets larger, thus stabilizing the charge when a hydrogen is given off. Hydroflouric acid (HF) is a relatively weak acid because electronegative elements hold on to their valence electrons more tightly, and are thus less likely to dissociate.

Carbonic anhydrase is an important enzyme that allows CO2 and H2O to be converted into H2CO3. In addition to allowing CO2 to be dissolved into the blood and transported to the lungs for exhalation, the products of the carbonic anhydrase reaction, H2CO3 and a related compound HCO3-, also serve to control the pH of the blood to prevent acidosis or alkalosis. The carbonic anhydrase reaction and acid-base reaction are presented below.

First, we need to determine what type of reaction HCO3- is participating in. We can see that a H+ is being produced in the forward reaction, and consumed in the reserve reaction; thus, we are looking at an acid-base reaction. H2CO3 has lost a H+, making it a Arrhenius acid. HCO3- is the conjugate base of the acid H2CO3.

There are three definitions for an acid that are commonly used: an Arrhenius acid, a Brønsted-Lowry acid, and a Lewis acid. Arrhenius acids are any substances that create hydrogen ions in solution, and Lewis acids are any substances that accept an electron pair.

Which of the following acids has the weakest conjugate base?
The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base. This is because a strong acid will dissociate almost entirely, meaning that its conjugate base will not accept protons frequently. The only strong acid as an option is nitric acid (HNO3). As a result, we conclude that nitric acid has the weakest conjugate base.

Acids and bases can be described in three principal ways. The Arrhenius definition is the most restrictive. It limits acids and bases to species that donate protons and hydroxide ions in solution, respectively. Examples of such acids include HCl and HBr, while KOH and NaOH are examples of bases. When in aqueous solution, these acids proceed to an equilibrium state through a dissociation reaction.
All of the bases proceed in a similar fashion.
The Brønsted-Lowry definition of an acid is a more inclusive approach. All Arrhenius acids and bases are also Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, but the converse is not true. Brønsted-Lowry acids still reach equilibrium through the same dissociation reaction as Arrhenius acids, but the acid character is defined by different parameters. The Brønsted-Lowry definition considers bases to be hydroxide donors, like the Arrhenius definition, but also includes conjugate bases such as the A- in the above reaction. In the reverse reaction, A- accepts the proton to regenerate HA. The Brønsted-Lowry definition thus defines bases as proton acceptors, and acids as proton donors.

The Haber-Bosch process, or simply the Haber process, is a common industrial reaction that generates ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gas.

What happens when ammonium ions are dissociated in water?
Ammonia is a base and produces ammonium ions in water; therefore, ammonium is the conjugate acid of ammonia. This means that ammonium ions in water will donate protons to water, regenerating the conjugate base (ammonia). Protonated water contains a molecular formula of 
, which are called hydronium ions.
Remember that hydronium ions are always produced during acid dissociation. The presence of more hydronium ions indicates that the solution is acidic and has a low pH.
