2.) Brønsted-Lowry Acids and Bases
• Proposed in 1923
• Danish chemist Johannes Brønsted and English chemist Thomas Lowry
• Were working independently, but proposed the same definition of acids and bases.
![Page 12: Acids and Bases. Acids and bases have distinct properties : –Acids give foods a tart or sour taste. –Aqueous solutions of acids are strong or weak electrolytes](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042616/56649e395503460f94b2a2eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Brønsted-Lowry theory-
• an acid is a hydrogen-ion (H+) donor
• a base is a hydrogen-ion (H+) acceptor.
– This includes all the acids and bases that Arrhenius defined AND…
– Includes some compounds that Arrhenius did not classify as bases.
![Page 13: Acids and Bases. Acids and bases have distinct properties : –Acids give foods a tart or sour taste. –Aqueous solutions of acids are strong or weak electrolytes](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042616/56649e395503460f94b2a2eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Arrhenious theory would NOT consider ammonia to be a base.
Brønsted-Lowry theory would.
![Page 14: Acids and Bases. Acids and bases have distinct properties : –Acids give foods a tart or sour taste. –Aqueous solutions of acids are strong or weak electrolytes](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042616/56649e395503460f94b2a2eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Ammonia is a Brønsted-Lowry base because it accepts hydrogen ions.
• Water is a Brønsted-Lowry acid because it donates hydrogen ions.

Conjugate acids are always paired with a base, and conjugate bases are always paired with an acid.
• A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two ions or molecules related by the loss or gain of one hydrogen ion.
