Arrhenius - In the late 1800s, the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius proposed that ___________ can dissolve many
compounds by separating them into their individual _____________. Arrhenius suggested that acids are compounds
that contain ______________ and can dissolve in water to release _________________ ___________ into solution.
+ H2O→
____________ + _____________
Arrhenius defined ____________ as substances that dissolve in water to release ___________________ ________ (OH-)
into solution.
HCl
NaOH + H2O→ ______________ + ______________
The Arrhenius definition also explains that acids and bases counteract each other. This idea, that a base can make an
acid weaker, and vice versa, is called ____________________________.
The neutralization reaction of an acid with a base will always produce __________ and a ___________, as shown below:
Acid
Base
Water
Salt
HCl
+ NaOH → _______ + _______
HBr
+ KOH
→ _______ + _______
pH - The acidity or basicity of something can be measured by its ______________________ _________ concentration.
For example, a solution with [H+] = 1 x 10-7 moles/liter has a pH equal to ______. The pH scale ranges from _______ to
________. Substances with a pH between __________________ are acids. Substances with a pH __________________
are bases. Right in the middle, at pH = 7, are _____________________ substances, i.e., __________ _____________.

2. pH Scale: https://www.thoughtco.com/ph-of-common-chemicals-603666
Research this site and label the ACIDS side, the NEUTRAL POINT, and the BASES side. THEN, label three examples of
acids on the scale, three examples of bases on the scale and one example of something neutral on the scale.
