Could a bronsted-lowry acid not be an arrhenius acid?

Yes, a Brønsted-Lowry acid can be a different concept from an Arrhenius acid. While both concepts define acids based on their ability to donate protons, the Arrhenius definition is limited to substances that produce H+ ions in aqueous solutions, whereas the Brønsted-Lowry definition extends to reactions that occur in non-aqueous solvents.

What are two solutions that have more oh ions than H ions?

An arrhenius acid is, by definition, a solution with a higher concentration of H+ ion than OH-. So any arrhenius acid will fit this definition. Two common acids are Lemon juice and vinegar.


Is HI a Arrhenius acid?

No, HI (hydroiodic acid) is not considered an Arrhenius acid because it does not dissociate in water to release H+ ions as defined by the Arrhenius theory.


How did Svante Arrhenius contribute to acid base chemistry?

Ahh, Svante Arrhenius. Cool guy. Wish I'd met him. Anyway, Arrhenius created a definition for an acid and for a base -- Acid - a substance which produces hydronium ions (H3O+) in aqueous solution Base - a substance which produces hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution That's it!
