"An acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base."
Chemical reactions involving transfer of protons (H+ ions).
Introduction to Acid-Base Reactions: This topic will provide you with a basic understanding of what an acid and base are and how they react with each other.
Acids: Here, you will learn the properties of acids, their various types, and how they react with water.
Bases: This topic will introduce you to the properties of bases, their various types, and how they react with water.
Strength of Acids and Bases: You will learn how to determine the strength of an acid or base using pH and pOH scales.
Neutralization Reactions: This topic will cover how acid and base reactions result in salt and water.
Acid-Base Equilibria: This topic will demonstrate how acidic and basic solutions can be compared and how their equilibrium depends on the concentration of the ion.
Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases: This topic will cover the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acid-base reactions.
Lewis Acids and Bases: You will learn the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, focused on Lewis acids, and Lewis bases.
pH and pOH Calculations: This topic will focus on the calculations required for determining pH and pOH.
Buffer Solutions: You will learn about buffer solutions, which function to resist changes in pH.
Acid-Base Titrations: In this topic, you will be introduced to the process of volumetric analysis, which includes acid-base titrations.
Indicators: Here, you will learn about the various types of indicators used to measure the pH of the solution.
Acid-Base Reactions in Living Systems: Acid-base reactions occur in biological systems, and this section discusses the importance of pH regulation in living organisms.
Acid Rain: You will understand the importance of pH levels in the environment and how acid rain formed.
Applications in Industry: This topic will cover the industrial processes of acid-base reactions, including their importance and uses in different fields such as manufacturing industries.
Neutralization reactions: A reaction between an acid and a base which results in the formation of salt and water molecules.
Redox reactions: A type of reaction in which electrons are transferred from one substance to another, resulting in the oxidation and reduction of both substances.
Lewis acid-base reactions: A type of reaction in which an acid and base react to form a coordinate covalent bond, with the acid acting as an electron pair acceptor and the base acting as an electron pair donor.
Proton transfer reactions: A reaction in which a proton is transferred from one molecule to another, resulting in the formation of an ion.
Hydrolysis reactions: A reaction in which water molecules are used to cleave a chemical bond.
Acid-base addition reactions: A reaction in which an acid and a base combine to form a single compound.
Acid-base substitution reactions: A reaction in which the anion of an acid is replaced with a different anion, or the cation of a base is replaced with a different cation.
Salt formation reactions: A type of reaction in which an acid and base react to form a salt and water.
Acid-catalyzed reactions: A type of reaction in which an acid is used as a catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction.
Base-catalyzed reactions: A type of reaction in which a base is used as a catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction.
"It can be used to determine pH via titration."
"Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories."
"The Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory."
"Their importance becomes apparent in analyzing acid–base reactions for gaseous or liquid species, or when acid or base character may be somewhat less apparent."
"The first of these concepts was provided by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, around 1776."
"It is important to think of the acid-base reaction models as theories that complement each other."
"The current Lewis model has the broadest definition of what an acid and base are."
"The Brønsted-Lowry theory being a subset of what acids and bases are."
"The Arrhenius theory being the most restrictive."
