Introduction to Acids, Bases

Chemistry In a Nutshell

In this course, we use the definitions for acids and bases of Brønsted-Lowry: 

Acids have feature that donate a proton (H+).

Bases have feature that accept a proton.

Example 

In this case, HNO3 is acid and H2O is base.

In this case, NH3 is a base and H2O is an acid.
