Question

Use complete sentences to differentiate between acids and bases on the basis of their behavior when dissolved in water Give an example of each type.

Answer 1

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution.

The hydroxonium ions formed by the chemical bonding between the oxygen of water molecules and the protons released by the acid due to its excess ionization.

  For example:

              HCl          +         H₂O ⇄       H₃O⁺         +             Cl⁻

               acid                    water         hydroxonium         chloride

A base is a substance that interacts with water to yield excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqueous solutions:

            NH₃        +          H₂O       ⇄       NH₄⁺     +            OH⁻

        Ammonia            water          ammonium              hydroxide

These explanations are based on the arrhenius theory.
