Question

A. Use the acid-base reaction HBr + LIOH → LiBr + H₂O to answer the following q

i. Name the Arrhenius acid and Arrhenius base found in the above reaction.

Answer 1

Arrhenius Acid = HBr

Arrhenius Base = LiOH

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrhenius acids are substances which increase the H⁺ concentration of an solution it has been dissolved in.

Arrhenius bases are substances which increase the OH⁻ concentration of a solution it has been dissolved in.

When dissolved in a solution, HBr dissociates into H⁺ and Br⁻ ions. As such, HBr increases the H⁺ concentration of the solution and is a Arrhenius acid.

When dissolved in a solution, LiOH dissociates into Li⁺ and OH⁻ ions. As such, LiOH increases the OH⁻ concentration of the solution and is an Arrhenius base.
