Answer:

Three principal theories about acid-base are,

1. Arrhenius theory

2. Bronsted-Lowry theory

3. Lux-Flood definition

4. Lewis theory

5. Usanovich definition

1. According to the Arrhenius, acids give up hydrogen ion in aqueous medium and a base give up hydroxyl ion in its aqueous medium. Examples are aqueous solution of HCl, CH3COOH, PhCOOH, and H2SO4. These give up H+ in an aqueous medium. Aqueous solutions of NaOH, Ca (OH)2 are Arrhenius bases.

Arrhenius theory has some limitations. This theory cannot explain the acidic nature of BF3 or basic behavior of NH3. This theory fails to give any explanation about acidity and basicity which does not produce H+ and OH- in their aqueous solutions.

2. According to the Bronsted-Lowry, an acid releases proton and a base accepts proton. NH3 accepts proton and forms ammonium ion, so ammonia acts as a base.

But this theory also has limitations. According to this theory acidic behavior of BF3 still cannot be explained.

3. Lux-Flood describes the acid-base theories based on oxide ion transformation. It gives clear explanation for acid-bases theories of non-protonic system. According to them, a base will donate the oxygen atom and an acid will accept oxygen atom.

4. According to the Lewis theory, acids are those substances which accept electron pair and base are those substances which donates electron pairs. Lewis theory can explain the acidic nature of BF3. In BF3, B is two electrons short to fulfil its octet. So it can accept a pair of electrons from an electron donating substituent. So it is an electron pair acceptor compound and acts as an acid.

Substances which have π electrons can donate electron pair to an electron deficient substance and acts as a base. Ethylene and acetylene is Lewis bases. AlCl3, PCl3 are Lewis acids.

5. According Usanovich, an acid is some chemical species which would react with bases and yields cations or accepts anions or electrons. A base is some chemical species which would react with acids, yield anions or electrons or combine with cations.

What volume of 0.500 m h2so4 is needed to react completely with 20.0 ml of 0.400 m lioh?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2LiOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Li₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of base to acid is 2:1
Number of OH⁻ moles reacted = number of H⁺ moles reacted at neutralisation
Number of LiOH moles reacted = 0.400 M / 1000 mL/L x 20.0 mL = 0.008 mol 
number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.008 mol /2 = 0.004 mol 
Number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1 L - 0.500 M
This means that 0.500 mol  in 1 L solution 
Therefore 0.004 mol in - 1/0.500 x 0.004 = 0.008 L 
therefore volume of acid required = 8 mL
