luxflood how is it inferior or superior to Lowry bronsted concept
Answers
Explanation:
There are certain reasons for why the Bronsted-Lowry theory is more superior to the Arrhenius theory, one of them being that Arrhenius couldn't classify substances unless they were dissolved in water, his definitions of acids and bases basically rely upon these substances dissociating in aqueous solutions, this made the bronsted-owry theory more superior since he could explain and apply his model so that solutions with solvents other than water and even in reactions that occur in gas or solid phases. Also, his theory did not explain why some compounds like HCl, which contains hydrogen, dissolves in water and gives acidic solutions whereas CH4 does not, this lack of reasoning weakened his theory and made the Bronsted-Lowry theory more superior since he could explain this by stating that it was a non-polar compound.
