Acid-Base Theories and Concepts

The video tutorial explains the ionization of acids and bases, covering three main theories: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis. It describes how acids and bases dissociate in water, the role of H+ and OH- ions, and the concept of conjugate acid-base pairs. The video also covers the calculation of dissociation constants (Ka and Kb) for acids and bases, providing examples and chemical equations to illustrate these concepts.

What is the process called when acids and bases dissociate into ions in water?
