Question

Which reaction displays an example of an Arrhenius base?

A. NaOH(s) --> Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
B. HCl(g) + H2O(l) --> H3O+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
C. CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) --> H3O+(aq) + CH3COO–(aq)
D. NH3(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq) --> NH4+(aq) + C2H3O2–(aq)

Answer 1

hold on one sec let me see if i can figure it out

Answer 2

okay :)

Answer 3

I'm not exactly positive but the answer is either A or B
The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases is one of the oldest. An Arrhenius acid is a substance that when added to water increases the concentration of H1+ ions present. The chemical formulas of Arrhenius acids are written with the acidic hydrogens first. An Arrhenius base is a substance that when added to water increases the concentration of OH1- ions present. HCl is an example of an Arrhenius acid and NaOH is an example of an Arrhenius base.




The H1+ ion produced by an Arrhenius acid is always associated with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion, H3O1+(aq). Arrhenius acids are frequently referred to as proton donors, hydrogen ion donors, or hydronium ion donors, depending on whether we are trying to emphasize the species liberated by the acid (proton or hydrogen ion) or the species present in solution (hydronium ion). To represent the transfer of the H1+ ion to water to form the hydronium ion, we must include H2O in the chemical equation for acid ionization.

thank you lots!!! @austin_coleman
