Abstract
Brönsted's definition of acids and bases presents the following advantages: One may reason along the lines of the acid-base couple and the proton exchange just as done in the case of an oxidation-reduction couple and the electron exchange. The force of the acid is connected with that of the corresponding base. The acid or basic character of certain compounds is evidenced by their tendency to exchange protons, something that does not necessitate the use of “hydrolytic” phenomena. Properties of “strong acids” and “strong bases” are explained. The formulas of the pH of acid solutions, basic solutions, or salt solutions are unified and their use simplified. In acidimetry the reasoning is simplified, and complex problems may be approached with more facility. In the case of non-aqeous solvents that offer great possibilities in acidimetry spbrönsted's theory permits predictions about limitations in the acidityscale. It furnishes an explanation of phenomena in inert solvents.
