Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) In aqueous solution, Arrhenius acids undergo ionization and Arrhenius bases undergo dissociation.
(2) Production of the salt NaNO₃ through a neutralization reaction involves the reaction of a weak acid with a strong base.
(3) The ion product constant for water, at 24^oC, has the numerical value 1.0 x 10^-14.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) True: Arrhenius acids ionize in water to produce H+ ions, and Arrhenius bases dissociate to produce OH- ions. 2) False: The production of a salt like NaNO₃ (sodium nitrate) through a neutralization reaction typically involves the reaction of a strong base (NaOH) with a strong acid (HNO3), not a weak acid with a strong base. 3) True: The ion product constant for water (Kw) at 25°C is indeed 1.0 x 10^-14.
