Question

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

  1. Bases also depend on the concentration of hydronium ion.
  2. The scale for measuring the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution is called pH Scale.
  3. The reaction of acid and base is an endothermic reaction.
  4. The acids and bases are electrolytes which means that they are good conductors of electricity.

hintHint:

An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton to another substance. A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid.

The correct answer is: The reaction of acid and base is an endothermic reaction.


    The statement "The reaction of acid and base is an endothermic reaction"  is incorrect.
    Energy is released when a bond is formed, while energy is required to break a bond. So in the case of acid and base reactions, no bond is being broken, bonds are only being formed.
