Write a chemical equation for NH4+(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:
According to this theory, an acid is a substance that is a proton donor when the substance is dissolved in water.
The base is the one that gives OH- ions when dissolved in water.
KOH(aq) is a base.
Because it releases OH- ions when dissolved in water.
[tex]KOH(aq)->K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]
The ammonium ion is an acid.
It can donate a proton when dissolved in water.
[tex]NH_4^+(aq)->NH_3(aq)+H^+(aq)[/tex]
