Answer 1

Answer:

Mark as a brilliant please

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius theory, acids and bases are defined as follows:

i. Acid: An acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and gives H+ ions in an aqueous solution.

e.g.

HClX(aq)→waterHX(aq)++ClX(aq)−

;

CHX3COOHX(aq)⇌waterHX(aq)++CH−

ii. Base: A base is a substance that contains the OH group and produces hydroxide ions (

OH

OH-

ions) in aqueous solution.

e.g.

NaOHX(aq)→waterNaX(aq)++OHX(aq−

;

NHX4OHX(aq)⇌waterNHX4(aq)++OH−
