Ionic Equilibrium
Arrhenius theory
- Only for aqueous solution, not for amines, all acid containing hydrogen, but not all acid containing
hydrogen is acids.
- Amines compounds are not Arrhenius bases.
Bronsted-Lowry theory
- For liquid and gaseous reactions.
- Defined acid as a substance (molecule or ion) that donates protons (H +) to a base.
- Base is a substance that receives the H+ ions donated by the acid.
- Proton donor= acid, proton receiver= base.
- Acid-base reaction is reversible.
- A base usually a negative ion which can form covalent dative bond (coordinated bond) with the
proton.
- The Bronsted-Lowry definition is not only includes only the substance we normally call acids and
bases but also solvents that cause them to ionise.
- When HCl dissolves in water, the water itself acting as a base since it accepted the proton that lost
by the acid.
- In the other hand, water also can acts as an acid, a donor of proton.
- Hydroxonium ion, (H30+) is also known as oxonium ion or hydronium ion.
- Thus, water is known as amphoteric solvent.
Conjugate pairs.
- Every acid has its conjugate base and every base has its own conjugate acid.
- A conjugate acid is the species (molecule or ion) formed when a proton was added into a base.
- A monoprotic acids is known as a monobasic acid because can only form 1 conjugate acid.
- A diprotic acid called a dibasic acid because it has two conjugate bases.
- Aqueous solutions of hexaaqua complex ions such as [Al (H2O)6]3+ are acidic because the complex
ions acts as Bronsted-Lowry acids. They donate protons to the water molecules to form
hydroxonium ions which make the solution more acidic.
Lewis theory
- An acid is a species (an atom, ion or molecule) which can form a dative covalent bond by accepting
an electron pair from a base
- A base i s a species that have an unshared electrons which can be donated to form dative
covalent bond with an atom, molecule, or an ion.
- In other word, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and Lewis base is an electron donor.
- Importance= the reactions includes reactions in which proton are not involved.

Note: dibasic acids need to multiply with their number of H+ ions to justify their concentration
If different moles:

Buffer solution
Buffer solution is a solution which can receive a small amount of H+ or OH- ions changing its pH value
slightly.
