Acid-Base Reactions and Theories

An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.

The acid-base theories are alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems. Examples include the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.

Titration can be used to determine pH by measuring the amount of acid or base needed to neutralize a solution.
