Acids, Bases & Buffers

High-Yield Essentials ⚡

The three acid-base theories have increasing scope: Arrhenius (aqueous only) $\rightarrow$ Brønsted-Lowry (aqueous + non-aqueous, single ions) $\rightarrow$ Lewis (electron pairs, broadest).
Strong acids/bases dissociate completely ( $\alpha = 1$ , one-way $\rightarrow$ , no equilibrium); weak acids/bases dissociate partially ( $\alpha < 1$ , reversible $\rightleftharpoons$ , equilibrium exists).
$pH + pOH = 14$ and **$K_a \times K_b = K_w = 10^{-1
