Question

Write a chemical equation for NaOH(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

NaOH(aq)=Na(aq)+OH−(aq)

Write a chemical equation for H2SO4(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

HClO4(aq)→ClO−4(aq)+H+(aq)

Write a chemical equation for HI(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

According to Arrhenius definition

species which are producing H+ when dissolved in water called Acid

Speciess which are producing OH- when dissolved in water is called Base

NaOH (aq) + ---> Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ( it produces OH-Arrhenius Base)

H2SO4 (aq) -------> H+ (aq) + HsO4- (aq) ( it produces H+ so Arrhenius Acid)

HClO4(aq) -----> ClO−4(aq) + H+(aq)    ( it produces H+ so Arrhenius Acid)

HI (aq) --------> H+ (aq) + I^- (aq) ( it produces H+ so Arrhenius Acid)
