1. Acid-Base Reactions

2. Bronstead-Lowry Reactions
-Species that remain after a B-L acid has given up a proton is the conjugate base of the acid.
-When a B-L base gains a proton, it is called a conjugate acid.

3. Strength
Weaker acid + weaker base <-- stronger acid + stronger base
The extent of the reaction depends on strength of acids and bases.
Stronger acid + stronger base --> weaker acid + weaker base

4. Predicting Reactions
Strengths of acids and bases can be compared to predict the outcome of a reaction.

5. Equilibrium Systems
Bronstead-Lowry acid-base reactions are equilibrium systems, both forward and reverse reactions occur.

6. Questions What is it called when a base gives up a proton?
What is it called when an acid gives up a proton.
What types of reactions occur in acid-base reactions.
