Upon completion of this module, you should be able to define and identify Arrhenius acids and bases and identify Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases. Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist (1859-1927), defined an acid as a substance that produces hydrogen ions in solution and a base as a substance that produces hydroxide ions in solution. Thus, as shown in these reactions, HCl is an acid, and NaOH is a base, HCl produces H plus and Cl minus. NaOH produces Na plus and OH minus.
