An acid
|
|
is a substance that releases H+ ions when dissolved in water
|
|
|
is a substance that does not release any ions when dissolved in water
|
|
|
is a substance that releases OH-when dissolved in water
|
|
|
releases an equal amount of OH-and H+ ions when dissolved in water
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acids are substances that when dissolved in water release hydrogen ions, H+(aq).
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the Arrhenius theory, acids are substances that release or produce hydrogen (H+) ions when dissolved in an aqueous solution or water, while bases are substances that release or produce hydroxide (OH-) ions when dissolved in water. Thus, the given statement is false.
