Acids and Bases: A Comprehensive Overview Welcome to this presentation on acids and bases, a fundamental concept in chemistry. We will explore different definitions, properties, and applications of these important compounds. by DUMMY LUNGGAL The Arrhenius Theory of Acids and Bases Arrhenius Definition Examples Acids produce hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) releases H+ ions in water. Bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) releases OH- ions in water. The Brønsted-Lowry Definition of Acids and Bases 1 Proton Transfer 2 Examples HCl donates a proton to Acids are proton donors (H+). water, forming H3O+ and Cl-. Bases are proton Ammonia (NH3) accepts a acceptors (H+). proton from water, forming NH4+ and OH-. Conjugate Acids and Bases Conjugate Acid- Examples Base Pairs HCl (acid) and Cl- (conjugate base) differ by a An acid and its conjugate proton. NH3 (base) and NH4+ base differ by a proton. (conjugate acid) differ by a A base and its conjugate proton. acid differ by a proton. Strong and Weak Acids and Bases Strong Acids Ionize completely
