Question

which statement describes an arrhenius acid?

it produces OH- in a solution

it produces H+ in solution

it accepts protons

it donates protons

it donates electrons

Answer 1

The statement that would beat describe an Arrhenius acid would be the second Option. It produces H+ ions in solution. The other definitions would be suitable for Arrhenius base, Bronsted Lowry Acid/Base, and Lewis Base.

Answer 2

Answer: it produces $H^+$ in solution  

Explanation:-

According to Arrhenius concept, an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ in water and a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water.

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Arrhenius acid: $HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-$

Arrhenius base: $NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$
