Question

1. Acids produce H+ in water. Write the chemical equation showing how HCL behaves as an acid in water.

2. Bases produce OH- in water. Write the chemical equation showing how NaOH behaves as a base in water

Answer 1

Acids produce H+ ions in water

So HCl produces H+ as

HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl^-

bases produce OH^- ions in water

And NaOH does this as

NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH^-
