Answer:
NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)
Explanation:
Following arrhenius, an acid can be defined as:
An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of H+ ions in water.
NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)
The ammonium ion acts as a weak acid in aqueous solution, dissociating into ammonia and a hydrogen ion.
An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of OH- ions in water.
NH4+(aq) will not dissciate in OH- ions. So it's not a base, but an acid.
Answer:
Covalent Bond
Explanation:
In the diagram Carbon and each of the 4 Hydrogens are sharing electrons. They are also both non metals. Both of these are characteristics of Covalent Bonds.
RCOOH + NaOH → RCOONa + H₂O (salt and water)
RCOOH + OH⁻ → RCOO⁻ + H₂O
