Expert Solution
Step 1: Acid-Base

There are various definitions of acid-base, such as:

(1) Arrhenius acid: Furnish H+ ion in aqueous solution

Arrhenius base: Furnish OH- ion in aqueous solution.

(2) Bronsted-Lowry acid: Releases H+.

Bronsted-Lowry base: Consumes H+.

(3) Lewis acid: Accepts electrons.

Lewis base: Donates electrons.
