Interpretation:
The reason for the compounds containing hydrogen to not be classified as Arrhenius acids in some cases needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
According to Arrhenius, acid is a substance which gives hydrogen ion in aqueous solution.
Answer to Problem 8SSC
Arrhenius acids are those substances that have ionizable hydrogen. All the substances containing hydrogen can’t release
Explanation of Solution
Let’s take an example:
Acetic acid
Its formula is
It has ionizable hydrogen which is attached to oxygen.
The hydrogen attached to carbon can’t release as
Another example:
Ethane
Its formula is
It has six hydrogen but they are not ionizable. So ethane, irrespective of having hydrogen is not
Thus all hydrogen atoms in the compounds are not ionizable.
