Acid/Base definitions
• Definition #1: Arrhenius (traditional) Acids – produce H+ ions (or hydronium ions
H3O+)
Bases – produce OH- ions
(problem: some bases don’t have hydroxide ions!)
1010Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ (H3O+) in water
Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH- in water

Acid/Base Definitions
• Definition #2: Brønsted – Lowry
Acids – proton donor
Bases – proton acceptor
A “proton” is really just a hydrogen atom that has lost it’s electron!
