199. Discuss in brief Arrhenius concept of acids and bases.


Acid: According to Arrhenius an acid is a hydrogen-containing substance which dissociates to give hydrogen ions (H+) in its aqueous solution. For example substances such as HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH are acids.



Acids such as HCl and HNO3 which are almost completely ionised in aqueous solutions are known as strong acids,  whereas acids such as CH3COOH which are weakly ionised are called weak acids.

Base: According to Arrhenius, the base is a substance containing one or more hydroxide groups which dissociate to give hydroxyl ions (OH) in its aqueous solution.For example substances such as NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2 are bases.
