Question

5. Which type of substance yields hydrogen ions, H+, in

Answer 1

Answer: An Arrhenius acid is a type of substance yields hydrogen ions, $H^{+}$, in an aqueous solution.

Explanation:

Substances that give dissociate to give hydrogen ions or protons when dissolved in an aqueous solution are called Arrhenius acid.

For example, HCl is a strong acid and upon dissociation in water it gives the following ions.

$HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}$

Thus, we can conclude that an Arrhenius acid is a type of substance yields hydrogen ions, $H^{+}$, in an aqueous solution.
