Question #57649

Answer 1

An Arrhenius acid produces `"H"^+` ions in solution and an Arrhenius base produces `"OH"^-` ions in solution.

Explanation:

`"HCl"_"(aq)" rarr "H"^+ +"Cl"^-`

In this case, "HCl" is an Arrhenius acid because it produces `"H"^+` in solution.

`"NaOH"_"(aq)" rarr "Na"^+ + "OH"^-`

In this case, "NaOH" is an Arrhenius acid because it produces `"OH"^-` in solution.
