What do you mean by dissolution of acids and bases?How will you carry out out this process?Explain.
Answers
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -----> H2O(l)
The Arrhenius theory has several disadvantages.
It can be applied only to reactions that occur in water because it defines acids and bases in terms of what happens when compounds dissolve in water.
It doesn't explain why some compounds in which hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 (such as HCl) dissolve in water to give acidic solutions, whereas others (such as CH4) do not.
Only the compounds that contain the OH- ion can be classified as Arrhenius bases. The Arrhenius theory can't explain why other compounds (such as Na2CO3) have the characteristic properties of bases.
Acids are substances that when dissolved in water release hydrogen ions, H+(aq). Bases are substances that react with and neutralise acids, producing water. When dissolved, bases release hydroxide ions, OH-(aq) into solution. Water is the product of an acid and base reacting.
You can carry out this process by adding acid and base drop by drop in the water with fixed litre also known as concentration of water or titration
hope this helps
