Big Idea: A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor and a Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor. After an acid/base loses/gains its proton it becomes a conjugate base/acid. Acids and bases can either completely dissociate (strong) or incompletely dissociate (weak). An equilibrium problem must be set up to solve for the ph of a weak acid or base.

Acids and Bases Arrhenius (1884) Acid: A compound that forms hydrogen ions (H + ) in water.
