Question

What is the limitation of Arrhenius concept of acid and base?

  1. Concept is applicable only to aqueous solutions.
  2. It can be applied to all acids.
  3. It can be applied to all bases.
  4. Concept is applicable only to solid substances.

The correct answer is: Concept is applicable only to aqueous solutions.


    This theory studied acids and bases in aqueous solution only and is not applicable in gaseous and non-aqueous solutions.
