Question

12: from the following list, decide whether the following are Arrhenius bases or acids.•HCl•NaOh•HBr•H2SO4•NH4OH•H3PO4•HNO3•LiOH•Ba(OH)2•CsOH•HF•KOH

Answer 1

Answer:

The Arrhenius acids in the list are:

HCl, HBr , H2SO4 , H3PO4 , HNO3 , HF

The Arrhenius bases are:

NaOH , NH4OH , LiOH , Ba(OH)2 , CsOH and KOH

Explanation:

An Arrhenius acid increases the concentration of H+ ions while an Arrhenius acid increases the concentration of OH- ions

Thus, an Arrhenius acid would yield H+ ions on ionization while an Arrhenius base will yield OH- ions on ionization

The Arrhenius acids in the list are:

HCl, HBr , H2SO4 , H3PO4 , HNO3 , HF

The Arrhenius bases are:

NaOH , NH4OH , LiOH , Ba(OH)2 , CsOH and KOH
