 Base - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a base is the reactive complement to an acid.
In warfare, a military base is a logistics point such as a supply dump and a concentrated facility for storing and repairing military equipment such as an air force base.
In topology, a base for a topology is a set of open sets such that every element of the topology is a union of the base sets.

 Base (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bases and acids are seen as opposites because the effect of an acid is to increase the hydronium ion (H
Bases are slightly less viscous than pure water, have a bitter taste and are soapy to the touch.
The common definition of a base is a chemical compound that absorbs hydronium ions when dissolved in water (a proton acceptor).

 Kids.net.au - Encyclopedia Base (chemistry) -
In chemistry, a base (or "alkali") is a compound that is the opposite of an acid in the sense that it has a pH above 7 (whereas an acid has a pH below 7), and a base will neutralize an acid.

 Acids and Bases
In a similar vein, the strength of a base is related to the ease with which it functions as a source of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution: strong bases are good sources of hydroxide ions in aqueous solution and weak bases are not.
Most of the strong bases commonly used in aqueous solution are ionic hydroxides that already have the hydroxide ion present, and so need only dissolve to dissociate and liberate their hydroxide ion.
an acid is a hydrogen ion donor; a base is a hydrogen ion acceptor.

 SparkNotes: Titrations: Acid-Base Titrations
In acid-base chemistry, we often use titration to determine the pH of a certain solution.
An indicator is an acid or base whose conjugate acid or conjugate base has a color different from that of the original compound.
The titration of a base with an acid produces a flipped-over version of the titration curve of an acid with a base.

 Lewis Acid/Base Reaction Chemistry
Within Lewis octet theory, a Lewis base was originally described as a species with an available (reactive) pair of electrons and a Lewis acid as an electron pair acceptor species.
This page explores the different types of Lewis acid and Lewis base and comes to the conclusion that there are six general types of Lewis acid and four types of Lewis base, where classification is based upon FMO topology.
In the 1960s Klopman updated this idea and suggested that a Lewis base is a species which reacts via its highest occupied molecular orbital or HOMO, and a Lewis acid is a species which reacts via its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital or LUMO, here.

 Acids & Bases
Under the Brønsted-Lowry definition, both acids and bases are related to the concentration of hydrogen ions present.  Acids increase the concentration of hydrogen ions, while bases decrease the concentration of hydrogen ions (by accepting them).  The acidity or basicity of something therefore can be measured by its hydrogen ion concentration.
While Boyle and others tried to explain why acids and bases behave the way they do, the first reasonable definition of acids and bases would not be proposed until 200 years later.
The Arrhenius definition of acids and bases explains a number of things.  Arrhenius' theory explains why all acids have similar properties to each other (and, conversely, why all bases are similar), because all acids release H

 SparkNotes: Fundamentals of Acids and Bases: Fundamentals of Acid-Base Chemistry
But progress in chemistry necessitated new definitions: it was discovered that ammonia behaves like a base, and HCl donates protons in non-aqueous solvents.
The Lewis model of acids and bases proposes that an acid is an electron pair acceptor while a base is an electron pair donor.
The Bronsted-Lowry model of acids and bases serves that need by describing acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors.

 Acid-Base Chemistry
When an equal amount of a strong acid reacts with an equal amount of a strong base the individual characteristics of the acid and base are removed; they are "neutralized." The pH of the acid is less than seven and the pH of the base is greater than seven.
Based on what they know about the names of bases, have them hypothesize about which antacid will neutralize the acid fastest.

The NH is acting as a bases, according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition, in that it accepts a proton, H+, from water, forming NH the ammonium ion.
The acid or base does not completely dissociate to ions; the extent to which it does ionize is known summarized as the acid (or base) dissociation constant (Ka or Kb).
Acids and bases are very common chemicals, and are used in a wide variety of industrial and house-hold applications.

Baking soda is a base, explains Lynn Turner, a professor of food science at North Carolina State University.
In order to make your cakes, cookies, breads, and biscuits rise, he says, the base has to be neutralized by an acid.
"Baking powder already has the acid included in it." Basically, baking powder is one part baking soda (a base) and two parts cream of tartar (an acid), plus some other stuff to prevent the two from reacting too fast.

 Chemistry: Acids and Bases
An acid-base titration is when you add a base to an acid until the equivalence point is reached which is where the moles of acid equals the moles of base.
For the titration of a strong base with a weak acid, the equivalence point is reached when the pH is greater than seven (7).
This is because the conjugate base of a strong acid is very weak and cannot undergo hydrolysis.
