Acids, Bases, and Salts
Acids have a sour taste and react with some metals to create hydrogen gas, also with carbonates and bicarbonates to produce carbon dioxide gas. Acid’s ph level is less than 7.
Bases have a bitter taste and have a slippery feel. Bases react with acids to form salt and water. Bases ph level is above 7.
The Bronsted-Lowry Concept states that acids are the donors and bases are acceptors
Acids and bass are identified on whether they donate or receive Hydrogen.
Acid/Base Definitions
The Ph scale shows the strength of acids and bases. 7 under is acids ,7 is neutral, and over 7 is bases.

Acid/Base Definitions
- Arrhenius - this was the first widely accepted theory but it is no longer accepted. This definition states acids create H ions (hydronium ions) and that bases create OH ions.
- Lewis- this definition states that a Lewis acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair.
