Enter a chemical equation for HClO4(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Consider that strong acids and bases dissociate completely.

HClO₄(l)  → H⁺ (aq) + ClO₄⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Arrhenius definition states that a compound is an acid when, in aqueous solution it can releases protons.

Therefore a compound is a base when, in aqueous solutions it can releases hydroxides anions.

For example:

Nitric acid → HNO₃

It is an Arrhenius acid, because it can release a H⁺, according to this equation:  HNO₃ →  H⁺  +  NO₃⁻

HClO₄ → Perchloric acid

HClO₄(l)  → H⁺ (aq) + ClO₄⁻ (aq)

Perchloric acid releases a proton when it is immersed in an aqueous solution. And it also produces perchlorate anion.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.

it is b that is the answer.
