Solution

Acid-Base theory:

  • Any hydrogen-containing material that has the ability to donate a proton (hydrogen ion) to another chemical is considered an acid.
  • A base is a molecule or ion that can take up an acid's hydrogen ion.
  • Bases are distinguished by their bitter flavour and slick consistency.
  • Alkali is a term used to describe a base that can dissolve in water.
  • Typically, sour tastes help to identify acidic chemicals.
  • Three main theories have supported the definition of acids and bases.
  • The Arrhenius theory, the Bronsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis theory of acids and bases are some examples of these theories.

Name of the different Acid-Base theories:

  • According to the Lewis definition of acids and bases, "bases act as electron-pair donors and acids as electron-pair acceptors."
  • According to the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases, "a base produces an OH- ion in its solution whereas an acid generates H+ ions in a solution."
  • According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, "a base is a proton acceptor and an acid is a proton donor."
