Bronsted/Lowry Acid/base definition

exchange of protons

Acid = proton doner

Base = proton acceptor

Lewis Acid/Base Definition

exchange of electron pairs

Acid = -e pair acceptor

Base = -e pair donor

Acid Dissociation Constant

Ka = [products]/[reactants]

indicates acid strength

Autoionization constant

aka: ion-product constant

Kw = [H₃O+][-OH] = 1.0 × 10^-14 @ STP
