Question

What are the limitations of Arrhenium theory?

Answer 1

1. This hypothesis does not apply to non-aqueous liquids; it is only applicable to aqueous solutions.
2. It fails to explain the acidic nature of non-hydrogen compounds like BG₃, AlCl₃, FeCl₃, etc.
3. The fundamental characteristics of non-hydroxy chemicals in their aqueous solutions, such as NH₃, amines, Na₂CO₃, KCN, aniline, etc., are not explained by it.
4. It doesn't explain the function of the solvent or the presence of H₃O⁺ in an acidic aqueous solution.
