Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Difference that can exist between Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions of an acid has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Arrhenius gave broader picture and suggested that acids are able to release excess of
Bronsted-Lowry acid outlined the definition of acids that donate
Explanation of Solution
In accordance with Bronsted definition, the most usual type of acid-base reaction involves lone pair of base that reaches out for an acidic proton. Once deprotonation has occurred species assumes a negative charge and is referred to as the conjugate base of acid and other species with a positive charge as a result of proton acceptance is termed conjugate acid of given base. For example;
In Arrhenius concept, the acid species is one that can make water to behave as Bronsted base so that it accepts the proton and forms
Thus all
