Arrhenius acid and base using an equation
Accepted Answer
Arrhenius acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solutions, while Arrhenius bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solutions.
Acid:
HA(aq) → H+(aq) + A-(aq)
Base:
BOH(aq) → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Where:
HA represents an acid
BOH represents a base
A- and B+ represent the conjugate base and conjugate acid, respectively.
