Overview
Respiratory acidosis was discussed as early as in 1950s by Henderson–Hasselbalch, Bronsted–Lowry, Stewart. But Arrhenius was the one who defines acid for the first time.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In the early 1950s Henderson–Hasselbalch equation and the Bronsted–Lowry definition discussed about acid–base disorders.[1]
- In the early 1950s Stewart repackaged ideas of acid–base in the late 1970s, including the Van Slyke definition of an acid.[2]
- In the early 1980s, Arrhenius defines acid as a substance that, when dissolved in water, produces an increased concentration of hydrogen ions.
- The word acid is derived from the Latin word 'acidus' which means sour.
