Question
State the Arrhenius concept related to acid and base.
Answer
The Arrhenius concept of acids and bases defines an acid as a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and a base as a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH–). According to this concept, an acid is a substance that increases the concentration of H+ ions in aqueous solution, while a base is a substance that increases the concentration of OH– ions in an aqueous solution.
