  • Arrhenius Acids: Definition, Examples & How They Work
    An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when dissolved in water, donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to the solution. Some examples of Arrhenius acids include:

    - Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

    - Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

    - Nitric acid (HNO3)

    - Acetic acid (CH3COOH)

    - Citric acid (C6H8O7)

    When these acids are dissolved in water, they release H+ ions into the solution, which can then react with other substances.
