Answer:

The correct option is H₂O is an acid and OH⁻ is its conjugate base.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance capable of yielding a hydrogen ion while a base is a species capable of accepting a hydrogen ion.

A conjugated acid-base pair is a pair of chemical species capable of transforming into each other by exchange of a proton. That is, a conjugated acid is the species that forms after the base accepts a proton. In contrast, a conjugate base is the species that forms after an acid donates its proton.

So, in this case water acts as an acid, yielding a proton to HCO₃⁻, which in turn acts as a base.

<u><em>The correct option is H₂O is an acid and OH⁻ is its conjugate base.</em></u>

Which compound is an Arrhenius base?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
I was hoping that some choices would be given to choose from. As there are no choices given, so i am answering the question based on my knowledge and hope that it comes to your help. Calcium hydroxide is a good example of Arrhenius base. An Arrhenius base is actually a substance that releases a hydroxyl ion in water.
