Question

In the following equilibrium,
$B+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons {BH}^{+}+{OH}^{-}$

• A. Arrhenius acid-base concept is observed
• B. Franklin's acid-base concept is observed
• C. Both (a) and (b)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Arrhenius acid-base concept is observed

It is seen in the given question that the medium/solvent in the solution is water, i.e, given equation is for aqueous solution.

Arrhenius acid-base theory is related to acidity and basicity of dissolved substances in aqueous solutions only.

Hence $\left(a\right)$ Arrhenius acid-base concept is observed.
