Arrhenius Acids: Arrhenius Acids and Bases. The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases is one of the oldest. An Arrhenius acid is a substance that when added to water

Arrhenius bases: The first modern definition of acids and bases was devised by Svante Arrhenius. A hydrogen theory of acids, it followed from his 1884 work with Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald in establishing the presence of ions in aqueous solution and led to Arrhenius receivi

pH: The negative of the logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions, measured in moles per liter; a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a substance, which takes numerical values from 0 (maximum acidity) through 7 (neutral) to 14 (maximum al

Electrolyte: a substance that, in solution or when molten, ionizes and conducts electricity

Hydrolysis: A chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water.

Titration: The determination of the concentration of some substance in a solution by slowly adding measured amounts of some other substance (normally using a burette) until a reaction is shown to be complete, for instance by the colour change of an indicator.

pOH: The negative of the base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydroxyl ions, measured in moles per liter.

Neutralization: The act of neutralizing.

Brønsted-Lowry acid: Any chemical species that acts as a donor of protons

Brønsted-Lowry base: Any chemical species that acts as an acceptor of protons
