Question

What substance is classified as an arrhenius base

Answer 1

There are substances that are classified as bases, but they are not Arrhenius bases. For instance, ammonia(NH3) is a basic substance, but it is not an Arrhenius base because it does not release hydroxide ions into solution.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept:

A base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions
`(OH^-)` when dissolved in water. For example: sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH).

`BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)`

An acid is defined as a substance which donates hydronium ions
`(H_3O^+)` in water.For example: hydrogen chlorde (HCl), nitric acid (
`HNO_3`).

`HA(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^++(aq)+A^-(aq)`
