Which of the following is an Arrhenius base?
CH3CO2H
NaBr
CH3OH
LiOH |
More than one of these compounds is an Arrhenius base. |
Answer:- LiOH
An Arrhenius base is defined as “any species that when dissolved in aqueous solution increases the concentration of hydroxide ions”
Lithium hydroxide dissociates in water as follows:
LiOH(aq) → Li+(aq) + OH−(aq)
In water, Lithium hydroxide fully dissociates to form hydroxide ions, resulting in an increase in the concentration of hydroxide ions. Therefore LiOH is an Arrhenius base. Group 1 and Group 2 hydroxides are the common Arrhenius bases.
While acetic acid is a weak acid which increases the concentration of H+ ions & it is an Arrhenius acid.
NaBr is a salt.
CH3OH is an organic compound which does not dissociates in aqueous solution as it contains covalent bonds.
