    Arrhenius Acid:

    Arrhenius Acid is any specie which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ (proton) Ions.

    Nitrous Acid:

    Nitrous Acid also acts as Arrhenius Acid when dissolved in water.

    HNO₂ + H₂O → NO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

    Where,

    H₃O⁺ ⇆ H⁺ + H₂O

    As HNO₂ produces H⁺ Ions in water, so it is an Arrhenius Acid.
