8-13 Define (a) an
(a)
Interpretation:
The Arhenius acid to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A chemical substance which looses or releases proton or H+ ion is termed to be acid while A chemical substance which looses or releases hydroxyl or OH- ion is termed to be base
Answer to Problem 8.13P
Substance that gives hydrogen ion/s in aqueous solution.
Explanation of Solution
According to Arrhenius theory, acid in water dissociates to form hydrogen ion
Here, HA is an Arrhenius acid.
Thus, acid increases the concentration of hydrogen ion/s in the solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Arhenius base to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A chemical substance which looses or releases proton or H+ ion is termed to be acid while a chemical substance which looses or releases hydroxyl or OH- ion is termed to be base
Answer to Problem 8.13P
Substance that gives hydroxide ion/s in aqueous solution.
Explanation of Solution
According to Arrhenius theory, base in water dissociates to form hydroxyl ion
Here, BOH is base.
Thus, base increases the concentration of hydroxide ion/s in the solution.
