Arrhenius theory
Svante Arrhenius devised the first modern definition of acids and bases. An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions (H+); that is, an acid increases the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution.
This causes the protonation of water, or the creation of the hydronium (H3O+) ion. An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH−) ions; that is, a base increases the concentration of OH− ions in an aqueous solution. The Arrhenius definitions of acidity and alkalinity are restricted to aqueous solutions, and refer to the concentration of the solvent ions. Under this definition, pure H2SO4 and HCl which dissolve in toluene are not acidic and molten NaOH and solutions of calcium amide in liquid ammonia are not alkaline.
The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water.
Acid + base → salt + water
In this traditional representation we formulate an acid-base neutralization reaction as a double-replacement reaction. For example, the reaction of hydrochloric acid, HCl, with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, solutions produces a solution of sodium chloride, NaCl, and some additional water molecules.
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O
The modifier (aq) in this equation is important. It indicates that the substances dissolve in water. In fact though all three substances, HCl, NaOH and NaCl are capable of existing as pure compounds, in aqueous solutions they fully dissociate into the (aquated) ions H+, Cl-, Na+ and OH-.
