Sagot :

Answer:The correct answer is option (1).

Explanation:

Arrehinius acid are those which gives hydronium ion [tex]H_3O^+[/tex] when dissolved in water.

Arrehinius base are those which gives hydroxide ion[tex]OH^-[/tex] when dissolved in water.

[tex]HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+NO_{3}^{-}(aq)[/tex]

[tex]CH_3COOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)[/tex]

Both nitric acid and acetic acid are Arrhenius acids.And they turn the color of blue litmus paper to red color.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
