Acid Base Week 1 Post #1

Last week we learned about the two different types of acids and bases, Arrhenius acids and bases and Bronsted-Lowery acids and bases. Arrhenius acids produce hydrogen ions in a solution and Arrhenius bases produce hydroxide ions in a solution, while Bronsted-Lowery acids donate a proton (H+) and Bronsted-Lowery bases accept a proton (H+). Also Bronsted-Lowery acids produce conjuagte bases and Bronsted-Lowery bases produce conjugate acids. We learned how to identify the different types of acids and bases in chemical equations and how to tell whether an acid was strong or weak and if a base was strong or weak. This unit is pretty complex, so I'm a little nervous going forward.
