Question

Which of the following is an Arrhenius acid? A) H2SO4 B) LIOH C)NH2CH3 D) CH3CH3

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a, $H_2SO_4$

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, acids are those substances which releases H+ in aqueous solution and bases are those which releases OH- in aqueous solution.

Among the given only $H_2SO_4$ can release $H^+$ in aqueous solution.

$H_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2H^{+} + SO_4^{2-}$

LiOH releases $OH^-$, therefore it is an Arrhenius base.

$NH_2CH_3$ and $CH_3CH_3$ cannot releases $H^+$.

So, the correct option is option a.
