Which of the following statements is true? Choose all that apply. a) The OH- ion is the basic species in the Arrhenius theory. b) All Brønsted-Lowry acids form a hydronium ion in aqueous solutions. c) All Brønsted-Lowry bases form a hydronium ion in aqueous solutions. d) Arrhenius bases are covalent compounds in the pure state. e) Arrhenius acids are ionic compounds in the pure state.
According to Arrhenius Concept, Acids are compounds which dissolves in water to give H+ ions and Bases are compounds which dissolves in aqueous solution to give OH- ions.
According to Bronsted Lowry concept, Acids donate a proton while base accepts a proton i.e. H+ or Hydronium ion.
Thus, Correct options are:
a) The OH- ion is the basic species in the Arrhenius theory.
b) All Brønsted-Lowry acids form a hydronium ion in aqueous solutions.
d) Arrhenius bases are covalent compounds in the pure state.
e) Arrhenius acids are ionic compounds in the pure state.
