Arrhenius reminds me of diarrhea. Just saying. So the first thing we went over this week was the difference between Arrhenius and Bronstead-lowry acids and bases. Arrhenius acids/bases are all the ones we have been using so far. Bronstead-lowry ones have generally not been used by us and have much more specific uses in a Bronstead-lowry equation. The general definition of the acids is that they donate an electron and the bases receive an electron. Our class also learned how to do ice box equations. Which generically evolve into X squared divided by the molarity minus X set equal to Ka. These equations are used to find the ph of weak acids. The last thing we went over is the H+ to OH- to pH to pOH square. this square tells how you can get any htree things from the square when you only start with one.
