Study Notes

Classification of Acids and Bases

Ranking the strength of acids and bases depends on the definition of acid and base used.

Arrhenius Acids and Bases

Arrhenius defined an acid as a substance that gives H+ and a base as one that gives OH- in 1884.
Acids produce hydrogen ions, H+(aq), in aqueous solutions according to Arrhenius.
Bases produce hydroxide ions, OH-(aq), when dissolved in water according to Arrhenius.
Phosphoric acid, H3PO4, is an example of a triprotic acid.

Strong Acids

Strong acids ionize completely when in solution.
Salts are formed (as well as water) when acids and bases react.
Strong acids can be used to prepare salts.

Preparation of Salts

Salts can be prepared by reacting acids and bases.
