Alternate Theory Acid orBronsted-Lowry Acid
1. Defined as a proton (H+) donor
Alternate Theory Base or Bronsted-Lowry Base
2. Defined as a proton (H+) acceptor
![Page 16: ACIDS AND BASES OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS A. Classification of a substance based on its observable properties B. Operational definitions of acids 1. Aqueous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da35503460f94a902f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bronsted-Lowry Reactions
1. Each reaction contains two acid-base pairs.
2. A pair differs only by a hydrogen,”H”
3. In the pair the species with the extra “H” is the B-L acid the other is B-L base
Examples:
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl-
NH3 (g) + H2O ↔ NH4+ (aq) + OH-(aq

ACID-BASE REACTIONS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
A. Neutralization
1. A reaction in which equal molar quantities of acid and base are mixed
2. Acid + Base Salt + Water
• Salt is another name for an ionic compound
![Page 20: ACIDS AND BASES OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS A. Classification of a substance based on its observable properties B. Operational definitions of acids 1. Aqueous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da35503460f94a902f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The water is formed when the H+ from the acid combines with the OH- from the base
• What is left combines to form the salt
• Look for the word titration to indicate a neutralization reaction.
![Page 21: ACIDS AND BASES OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS A. Classification of a substance based on its observable properties B. Operational definitions of acids 1. Aqueous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da35503460f94a902f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
B. Acid-Base Titrations
1. Volumetric analysis performed by adding measured volumes of a base of known molarity to an acid of unknown molarity. (or vice versa)
2. The acid or base of known molarity is called the standard solution
3. The endpoint (when neutralization is complete) occurs when moles of H+ equals moles of OH- . It is where the indicator changes color

5. Classification of acids
• Monoprotic acids have one H+ so Ma is the same as the concentration of the acid
Ex: HCl
• Diprotic acids have two H+ so Ma is twice the concentration of the acid
Ex: H2SO4
• Triprotic acids have three H+ so Ma is three times the concentration of the acid
• Ex: H3PO4
