Answer:

HClO₄ → H⁺ + ClO₄⁻

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrhenius acids produce protons when dissolved in aqueous solutions.

Since acids dissociate, they generate protons and a certain anion.

As they give protons to the medium, they can be considered Arrhenius acids.

The equation for perchloric acid is:

HClO₄ → H⁺ + ClO₄⁻

One mol of perchloric can produce 1 mol of protons and 1 mol of chlorate anion.
