Ces définitions [de l'ionisation] furent proposées séparément par Arrhenius et Ostwald [...] La théorie qui porte leur nom rend possible l'interprétation des équilibres intervenant entre les acides et les bases, et l'évaluation de la force des acides et des bases.

... The equations developed to express the relationships between the various components of reversible reactions can be applied to acid and base dissociations to give definite values, called dissociation constants. These constants can be used to characterize the relative strengths (degree of dissociation) of acid and bases and, for this reason, supersede earlier semiquantitative estimates of acid and base strength. 1, record 2, English, - base%20strength

Ces définitions [ionisation] furent proposées séparément par Arrhenius et par Ostwald en 1887. La théorie qui porte leur nom rend possible l'interprétation des équilibres acides-bases intervenant entre les acides et les bases, et l'évaluation de la force des acides et des bases.(...) Qualitativement, un acide est d’autant plus fort que cette réaction se déplace vers les ions, et, inversement, d’autant plus faible que l'ionisation est petite. 1, record 2, French, - force%20d%26rsquo%3Bune%20base

One result of the Bronsted definitions is that for a given solvent, such as water, there is only a single scale of acid-base strength. Put another way, the relative strength of a set of acids will be the same for any base. 1, record 3, English, - acid%2Dbase%20strength

[...] les forces des acides et des bases ne sont pas indépendantes. Un acide très fort-selon Bronsted-admet une base conjuguée très faible et vice-versa. Un classement qualitatif de la force des acides ou de la force des bases permet une prévision-également qualitative-du degré auquel se produira une réaction particulière acide-base. 1, record 3, French, - force%20des%20acides%20et%20des%20bases
