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)
<span>6 + x = 12. To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.</span>
