WHO IS ARRHENIUS?

19 February 1859 – 2 October 1927. He was a

Swedish scientist.
Arrhenius was one of the founders of the science of
physical chemistry

He received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1903,

becoming the first Swedish Nobel laureate.

memorialized by the Arrhenius equation, Arrhenius
acid, lunar crater Arrhenius, Martian crater

ARRHENIUS THEORY
 ACIDS

Acids -> H+ / H3O+

(Acids release H+ ion / hydronium ion when associate with water)

Exp:
H+ + H2O -> H3O+
 BASES

Bases -> OH +
(Bass release hydroxide ion in the solution)
ARRHENIUS ACID
ARRHENIUS BASE
 CONCLUSION

Acid releases hydrogen ion when associates with water while Base
release hydroxyl ion when associates with water.
