Solution

Dear student, The Arrhenius acid-base concept classifies a substance as an acid if it produces hydrogen ions H(+) or hydronium ions in water. A substance is classified as a base if it produces hydroxide ions OH(-) in water. This way of defining acids and bases works well for aqueous solutions. With regards!
