In an aqueous solution acids ________.

Question

n an aqueous solution acids ________.

Answer:

a) are proton donors

b)are proton acceptors

c)produce hydronium ions

d)produce hydroxide ions

e)both a and c

both b and d

Answer 1

Acids are proton donors. I like to remember that HCl is hydrochloric acid, and it has an extra H hanging out that it can give up.

Acids create hydronium ions in water, because the H₂0 molecule picks up that H that the acid donated and becomes H₃0⁺, which is called hydronium.

The answer is e) (both a) and c))

Answer 2

e) both a and c are the correct answer because and acid both donates protons and produces hydronium ions
