According to the Arrhenius acid-base definition

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Arrhenius acid-base definition, acids produce H+ (or H3O+) in aqueous solutions, while bases produce OH-. The statement in option A is a variation of this definition, as H⁺ (which stands for hydronium ion) is equivalent to H+ ion in aqueous solutions. Option B is incorrect as it states that bases produce H⁺ (which is equivalent to H3O+ ion) in aqueous solutions. Option C is incorrect as it is too narrow of a definition for acids and bases. Option D is incorrect as it is a generalization that is not always true - for example, HCl is a strong acid, but HF is a weak acid. Option E is incorrect as not all acids and bases are strong electrolytes - weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes.
