Acids and Bases ( Keeping Us Alive )

Till what extent you know ? Acids and bases have been a wide range of chemicals over which several researches were done and still going on. We started our study from the basic Arrhenius concept in which he told that acids are proton (  H+  ion)  donor and bases are donating  OH-  ion  then further modifications were done by Bronsted and Lowry where H+ donors are called acids and those who accept H+ are called bases and then by Lewis where on the basis of accepting or donating lone pair of electrons, the species are named Lewis Acids and Lewis Bases respectively. In all these researches, we got to know a different perspective of these Acids and Bases. We developed a pH Scale over which the acidity of acids and basicity of the bases can be meaure out on the basis of their strength of donating or accepting protons. These are the basic things that most of us are aware of. But how these protons or lone pair donation got benefited us ? ...
