Chapter 15, Problem 2RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three acid-base theories of Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis have to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The acidic strength is known from the ability of acid to donate ${\text{H}}^{+}$ in an aqueous solution. Explicitly the acidity strength is quantified by the magnitude of a parameter called acid ionization constant. The strong acids tend to possess higher magnitudes of acid ionization constant or $K_{\text{a}}$.
