Classify the following as acid (or) base using Arrhenius concept HNO_3 (ii) Ba(OH)_2 (iii) H_3PO_4 (iv) CH_3COOH

Answer»

Solution :`HNO_3:` Nitric acid dissociates to give hydrogen IONS in water
`THEREFORE HNO_3` is acid
(ii) `BA(OH)_2`: Barium HYDROXIDE , dissociates to give hydroxyl ions in water
`therefore Ba(OH)_2`is base.
(iii) `H_3PO_4`: Orthophosphoric acid ,dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.
`therefore H_3PO_4` in acid.
(IV) `CH_3COOH`: Acetic acid, dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.
`therefore CH_3COOH` is acid.
