1. Acid-Base Theories
19.1
Bracken Cave, near San Antonio, Texas, is home to twenty to forty million bats. Visitors to the cave must protect themselves from the dangerous levels of ammonia in the cave. Ammonia is a byproduct of the bats’ urine. You will learn why ammonia is considered a base.

How did Arrhenius define an acid and a base?

8. Arrhenius Acids and Bases
19.1
Arrhenius Acids and Bases
Arrhenius said that acids are hydrogen- containing compounds that ionize to yield hydrogen ions (H+) in aqueous solution.
He also said that bases are compounds that ionize to yield hydroxide ions (OH–) in aqueous solution.

9. Arrhenius Acids and Bases
19.1
Arrhenius Acids and Bases
Hydrochloric Acid
Hydrochloric acid is actually an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride. Hydrogen chloride forms hydronium ions, making this compound an acid.

Milk of magnesia is a base used as an antacid.
Milk of magnesia is a base used as an antacid. Bases are usually hazardous when taken internally, but the low solubility of milk of magnesia makes it safe to use.

15. Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
19.1
Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines an acid as a hydrogen-ion donor, and a base as a hydrogen-ion acceptor.

17. Lewis Acids and Bases How did Lewis define an acid and a base? 19.1

18. 19.1
Lewis Acids and Bases
Lewis proposed that an acid accepts a pair of electrons during a reaction, while a base donates a pair of electrons.

19. 19.1
Lewis Acids and Bases
A Lewis acid is a substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.
A Lewis base is a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.
