which of the following is the correct Arrhenius definition of an acid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+)

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

A) an acid is a proton donor B) An acid is a substance that produces H+ ions in water C) An acid is a substance that produces hydroxide ions in water D) AN ACID is a substace that is sour to the taste

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

i can pick more that one if apply

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

so is it C

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, hydroxide is OH- not H+

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

it is B THEN

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

RIGHT

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, that is one of them. :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

A H+ is also commonly referred to as a proton.

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

there are more than one answer

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes.

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

its a and b

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

right

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yup :)

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

@toxicsugar22 You always demand an answer, and never take time to learn the material. Do not ask me to you "help" you if this is what you will be doing. I hardly think giving you an answer is "helping" you or benefiting you in anyway.

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

a strong acid is an acid that is completly ___________ in aqueous solution is it completely ionized. help me fill in the blank

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, a strong acid completely ionizes in water. :) Good job!

OpenStudy (triciaal):

nice name. i think all correct. I need to know what Arrhenius means. I assume it's the layperson's definition and therefore my option would be D. Additionally seriously the other choices are not exclusive to acids. Again I would choose D. what does Arrhenius mean?

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

he Arrhenius definition of acids and bases is that 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.

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

yes it is a nice name

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

am i correct Joanna

OpenStudy (triciaal):

acids have positive charge (base negative)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arrhenius defined acids as substances that contribute H+ ions when dissociated in water, and bases as those that contribute OH- ions when dissociated in water. Bronsted & Lowry had a separate definition for an acid but same premise.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, you are correct, @toxicsugar22

OpenStudy (triciaal):

after reading the definition the correct Arrhenius definition of an acid is substance that contribute H+ ions when dissociated in water choice b

OpenStudy (triciaal):

by the way thanks for the definition

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

im posting the question

OpenStudy (somy):

more than 1 question is not allowed to be posted in one opened question + it'll be confusing so open a new q for ur next question

rvc (rvc):

yes @Somy is correct

OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):

calcute the value of [-OH] from the given [H3O+] in each solution and label the solution as acidic or basic A) [H3O+]=10^-3 M; B) [H30+]=10^-9 M.
