Question

Classify the definitions as that of an Arrhenius acid, an Arrhenius base, or that of a different type of acid or base. A substance that can accept a hydrogen ion from another substance. Answer 1 A substance that produces an excess of hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution. Answer 2 A substance that produces an excess of hydrogen ions (H ) in aqueous solution. Answer 3 A substance that can donate a hydrogen ion to another substance.

Answer 1

Answer:

A substance that can accept a hydrogen ion from another substance- a different type of base.

A substance that produces an excess of hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution- Arrhenius base

A substance that produces an excess of hydrogen ions (H+ ) in aqueous solution- Arrhenius acid

A substance that can donate a hydrogen ion to another substance.- a different type of acid.

Explanation:

Arrhenius defined an acid as any substance that produces hydrogen ion as its only positive ion when dissolved in water and a base as a substance which produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion when dissolved in water.

This has informed the classification of definitions shown in the answer above.
