8.4 Acid-Base Theories
Recall: Arrhenius’ TheoryAcids: Arrhenius theory Arrhenius theory: Any substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of hydrogen ion (H + )Bases: Arrhenius theory Arrhenius theory: Any substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of hydroxide ion (OH - )
Lone Hydrogen ions do not exist by themselves in solution. H+ is always bound to a water molecule to form a hydronium ion
The Bronsted-Lowry ConceptAcids: Arrhenius theory Arrhenius theory: Any substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of hydrogen ion (H + ) Bronsted-Lowry concept Bronsted-Lowry concept: A proton donor or sourceBases: Arrhenius theory Arrhenius theory: Any substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of hydroxide ion (OH - ) Bronsted-Lowry concept Bronsted-Lowry concept: A proton acceptor or receiver

Brønsted-Lowry Theory of Acids & Bases
Notice that water is both an acid & a base = amphoteric Reversible reaction
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
Acids & Bases CB For the following Identify the conjugate acid and the conjugate base. The conjugate refers to the acid or base produced in an acid/base reaction. The acid reactant produces its conjugate base (CB). a. Al(OH) HCl AlCl H 2 O b. Ba(OH) HC 2 H 3 O 2 Ba(C 2 H 3 O 2 ) H 2 O c. 2 KOH + H 2 SO 4 K 2 SO H 2 O d. NH 3 + H 2 O NH OH - CB CA CA CB
