Arrhenius Theory Of Dissociation (Noun)
Meaning
(chemistry) theory that describes aqueous solutions in terms of acids (which dissociate to give hydrogen ions) and bases (which dissociate to give hydroxyl ions); the product of an acid and a base is a salt and water.
Classification
Nouns denoting cognitive processes and contents.
Examples
- The Arrhenius theory of dissociation is one of the earliest models that describe the behavior of acids and bases in aqueous solutions.
- According to the Arrhenarius theory of dissociation, acid dissociation in water produces H+ ions and the corresponding base, while base dissociation produces OH- ions and the corresponding acid.
- The Arrhenius theory of dissociation describes acid-base reactions in terms of the products formed when an acid and a base react with each other.
- In the Arrhenius theory of dissoci, acid-base reactions result in the formation of salts and water from the combination of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
- The Arrhenius theory of dissociation played a crucial role in understanding the nature of acid-base chemistry and how acids and bases interact in aqueous solutions.
