Part E
Write a chemical equation for HC2H3O2(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
Explanation / Answer
HNO3 (aq) --------> H+ (aq) + NO3- (aq)
Since it releases a proton upon dissociation in aqueous medium, its an acid as per Arhenius definition
HF (aq) --------> H+ (aq) + F- (aq)
Since it releases a proton upon dissociation in aqueous medium, its an acid as per Arhenius definition
KOH (aq)-----------> K+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Since it releases a hydroxyl ion upon dissociation in aqueous medium, its a base as per Arhenius definition
HC2H3O2(aq) -----------> H+ + -C2H3O2(aq)
Since it releases a proton upon dissociation in aqueous medium, its an acid as per Arhenius definition
