Write a chemical equation for Ba(OH )2 (aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition.

Respuesta :

Balanced chemical reaction: Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
According to the Arrhenius definition barium hydroxide is base.
According this theory a
cids are substances which produce hydrogen ions in water solution, bases are substances which produce hydroxide ions in solution. Acids and bases when react (neutralisation) produce salt and water.
