Arrhenius concept explained

Correct answer: D. The dissociation of acids and bases in water

  • A. Constant heat of neutralization
  • B. Quantitative determination of acid/base strength
  • C. Catalytic property of acid
  • D. The dissociation of acids and bases in water

Explanation

The Arrhenius concept defines acids as substances that increase the concentration of H+ ions in aqueous solutions, while bases increase the concentration of OH- ions. It does not directly address the constant heat of neutralization, the quantitative determination of acid/base strength, or the catalytic properties of acids, which are unrelated to the fundamental definitions in the Arrhenius concept.

About Acids, Bases and Salts

Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
