In 1923, J.N.Bronsted and T.M.Lowry proposed a more general theory known as the Bronsted-Lowry proton transfer theory. According to this concept, any hydrogen containing species (a molecule, a cation or an anion), which is capable of donating one or more prot..

A substance which can donate a proton is a Bronsted-Lowry aci..

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor and base is a proton acceptor. Therefore the strength of an acid or a base is determined by its tendency to lose or gain protons. A strong acid is a substance which loses a proton easily to a bas..

Although Bronsted-Lowry theory was more general than Arrhenius' theory of acids and bases, it failed to explain the acid-base reactions which do not involve transfer of proton. For e.g., it fails to explain how acidic oxide such as anhydrous CO 2 , SO 2 , SO 3 etc can neutralise basic oxi..

The buffering action of buffer solutions can be explained in terms of the Bronsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases as follow..
