Acid-Base Reactions
The goal of this module is to build up your knowledge and skills of acid–base chemistry in a stepwise fashion. The learning outcomes build to the kind of knowledge and skills you need to analyze more advanced reactions, the majority of which require acid–base knowledge.
- Assess your knowledge and make a study plan (metacognition)
- View interactive instructional videos
- Try the practice activities
- Complete the pre and post-tests to track your learning
Note: use of this site requires the creation of a (free) username and password, and you must be logged in for the module to launch.

Arrhenius, Brönsted-Lowry, and Lewis Acids and Bases
There are three major ways in which we can categorize acids and bases. Arrhenius acids are defined as molecules that can readily dissociate in water and increase hydrogen ion concentration while Arrhenius bases are those molecules that dissociate in water and increase the hydroxide concentration. A Brönsted-Lowry acid is a compound that can donate a hydrogen ion while a Brönsted-Lowry base is a compound that can accept a hydrogen ion. A Lewis base is a compound that can donate a pair of electrons while a Lewis acid is a compound that can accept a pair of electrons.
Lewis Acids and Lewis Bases
Let us briefly extend the information we just learned in the following two chapters to Lewis Acid and Bases. The definition of the Lewis Acid-Base reaction is one of the most general definitions. It describes a reaction between a pair of electrons in a filled orbital and an empty orbital, as we will see in this lecture.
