Question

According to the Arrhenius concept, if NaOH were dissolved in water, it would act as

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept:

Acid are defined as those substance which gives hydrogen ions in their aqueous solution when dissolved in water.

$HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+A^-(aq)$

Base are defined as those substance which gives hydroxide ions in their aqueous solution when dissolved in water.

$BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

So, when NaOH  were dissolved in water, it would act as a base as it will give hydroxide ion in its aqueous solution.

$NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

Answer 2

According to the Arrhenius concept, if NaOH were dissolved in water, it would act as 
A) a base
