1. Acid Base Reactions & Theories
Chapter 20 part III

2. Acid Base Reactions Acid Anhydrides & water form Acid
SO3 + H2O  H2SO4
Acids & Metals form Salt and Hydrogen Gas
2HCl + Mg  H2 (g) + MgCl2
Acid & Base Form Salt & Water
HNO3 + KOH  H2O + KNO3
Acid and Carbonates form Carbon dioxide, salt & water
2HCl + MgCO3  H2O + MgCl2 + CO2

6. Neutralization reactions

7. Arrhenius Theory
Arrhenius proposed (1883) that ionic compounds dissociate and can become free ions acting as separate entities in solution.

8. Arrhenius Theory
ACID: Produces H+1 in Water BASE: Produces OH-1 in Water
HCl(aq) H+1 + Cl-1 HNO3(aq) H+1 + NO3-1 NaOH(aq) Na+1 + OH-1 NH3(aq) NH4+1 + OH-1

9. Bronsted/Lowry Theory

10. Bronsted & Lowry proposed a new acid-base theory in 1923.
ACID:  PROTON DONOR BASE: PROTON ACCEPTOR

11. Also:
Since protons are always transferred in the Arrenhius theory, all Arrhenius acid/base reactions are also Bronsted-Lowry acid/base reactions. Bronsted-Lowry theory expands Arrenhius theory to include any proton transfer (water not required).

12. Lewis Theory
In 1938 Gilbert Lewis proposed a more general acid base theory.

13. Lewis Acids
ACID: Accepts pair of electrons for sharing BASE: Donates pair of electrons for sharing
