Which of the following compounds is an Arrhenius base? Which of the following compounds is an Arrhenius base?
A.) CH3OH
B.) HOCl
C.) CH3CO2H
D.) SrOH

Respuesta :

A). CH3OH I think !!!!!!!!

Explanation:

Arrhenius base are defined as the specie which when dissolved in water dissociate to give hydroxide ions.

For example, [tex]Sr(OH)_{2}[/tex] being an ionic compound when dissolved in water will give [tex]Sr^{2+}[/tex] and [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions.

Whereas alcohol is neutral in water under normal conditions. Hence, [tex]CH_{3}OH[/tex] will not dissociate to give hydroxide ions.

On the other hand, Arrhenius acids are the species which when dissolved in water will dissociate to give hydrogen ions.

For example, [tex]CH_{3}COOH[/tex] and HClO will give hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options [tex]Sr(OH)_{2}[/tex] is an Arrhenius base.
