Q

Shortcomings to Arrhenius’ definition of an acid and a base

A

Ammonia, benzene, methylbenzene and other solvents are not included
Not all acid-base reactions requires water
H3O+ not H+ ions exist in the solution

Q

Brønsted-Lowry’s definition of a weak base

A

Poor proton donor

18
Q

Arrhenius’ vs Brønsted-Lowry’s definition theory

A

Linited reactions in Arrhenius’ theory (only in water)
Brønsted-Lowry theory includes gaseous reactions
Arrehius’ theory is limited to bases producing hydroxide ions
Brønsted-Lowry theory broadens the ranges of acids and bases. (More inclusive)
Arrhenius’ theory never considers hydronium ions

19
Q

Conjugating from acid to base

A

Remove H

Removd proton or + a minus sign

20
Q

Conjugate base to acid

A

+ H

Include a +
