Answer:

(a) Acid

(b) Base

(c) Acid

(d) Base

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a substance that releases H⁺ in aqueous solution.
  • A base is a substance that releases OH⁻ in aqueous solution.

(a) H₂SO₄ is an acid according to the following equation:

H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ 2 H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

(b) Sr(OH)₂ is a base according to the following equation:

Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇄ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

(c) HBr is an acid according to the following equation:

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

(d) NaOH is a base according to the following equation:

NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂

Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH
