Question

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid? A. It is a proton donor. B. It is a proton acceptor. C. It produces hydroxide ions in a solution. D. It produces hydrogen ions in a solution.

Answer 1

Answer: D. It produces hydrogen ions in a solution.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ in water.

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Hence, the correct statement is arrhenius acid produces hydrogen ions in solution.

Answer 2

Hello.

The answer is: D it produces hyrogen ions in a solution.

This is correct because when Arrhenius acid it turns into hydrogen ions.substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water.

have a nice day
