engineering chemistry... acids and bases

Science does not have theorems, mathematics has theorems. Science has threorys.

These are different ways to view acids and bases.

Bronstead Lowery --An acid is a protron donor (H+), a base is a proton (H+) acceptor.

Take hydrogen chloride (HCl)--dissolve it in water (Ag) it becomes an acid as the proton (positive hydrogen ion is given up)

Svante Arrhenius--came up with the conept of neutralization of strong acids and strong bases. that led to the acid base theory of Bronstead-Lowery.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_acids

Rap

Arhenius was a thied of Van Hoft who cae up with the rate equations about 10 years (I believe) before Arhenius plagiarized him, the scientific world is one of steal or be stolen from. Look at poor Ros Franklin and DNA

well thats one man's opinion... answer the question...

you are gud... i'll give ypou that
