According to the arrhenius concept, if hno3, were dissolved in water, it would act as? : a. proton acceptor b. a base c. a source of hydroxide ions d. an acid

Option D is correct. According to the Arrhenius concept, if were dissolved in water, it would act as an Acid.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius,

An acid is a hydrogen-containing compound that release in water after dissociation.

A base is a hydroxide-containing compound that release in water after dissociation.

The reaction of dissociation of in water is,

In the reaction  when dissolved in water dissociates to release , hence it is an acid.

does not release any . Hence Option B and C can be eliminated.

It releases proton, not accept. Hence option A is also incorrect.

On the basis of the above discussion we can say that according to the Arrhenius concept if were dissolved in water, it would act as an Acid.

d. An acid

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions in water.

A substance that increases the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is an Arrhenius acid.

Thus as donates a proton , it is considered as an Arrhenius acid.
