Term
acids: taste, touch, reactions with metals, electrical conductivity, indicators
Definition
sour, stinging, react vigorously with metals, conduct electricity well, red
Term
base: taste, touch, reactions with metals, electrical conductivity, indicators
Definition
bitter, smooth/soothing/slippery, don't react with most metals, conduct electricity well, blue
Term
acid-base indicator
Definition
substance that turns one color in an acidic solution and another color in a basic solution. (red for acid, blue for base in terms of litmus paper.) popular indicators: phenolphthalein, methyl red, thymol blue.
Term
neutralization reaction
Definition
the reaction between an acid and a base in which the acid neutralizes the base and the base neutralizes the acid.
Term
salt
Definition
an ionic compound that forms from acid-base neutralization reaction. generally crystalline compounds with high melting points. many salts are good electrolytes in water.
Term
arrhenius acid
Definition
substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogen H+ ions.
Term
arrhenius base
Definition
substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide OH- ions.
Term
when dissolved in water, both acids and bases are ______ because they form ____.
Definition
electrolytes, ions
Term
bronsted-lowry acid
Definition
any substance that can donate H+ ions
Term
bronsted-lowry base
Definition
any substance that can accept H+ ions
Term
hydronium ion
Definition
H30+
Term
amphoteric
Definition
a substance such as water that can act as either an acid or a base depending on the circumstances.
Term
conjugate acid/base
Definition
when an acid loses an H+ ion, it becomes its conjugate base.
Term
strong acid
Definition
readily transfers H+ ions to water to form H30+ ions. react completely to form ions. strong electrolytes.
Term
weak acids
Definition
don't readily form ions. poor electrolyte.
Term
strong base
Definition
strongest affinity for H+ ions, good electrolytes
Term
weak base
Definition
no real affinity for H+ ions. poor electrolytes
Term
acid dissociation constant
Definition
Ka, measure of the strength of an acid.
Term
base dissociation constant
Definition
Kb, measure of the strength of the base.
Term
salt hydrosis reactions
Definition
the reactions of ions from salts to form H30+ or OH- ions
Term
acidic hydrogen
Definition
in a molecule of an acid, a hydrogen atom that can be donated. has a slight positive charge while it is still part of a molecule.
Term
bronstead-lowry base always contains an
Definition
unshared pair of electrons
Term
in pure water at 25 C, both H30+ ions and OH- ions are found at concentrations of ______
Definition
1.0 x 10^-7 M
Term
ion-product constant
Definition
Kw. in pure water @ 25 C, Kw equals 1.0 x 10^-14
Term
pH =
Definition
-log[H30+]
Term
buffer
Definition
a mixture that is able to release or absorb H+ ions, keeping a solution's pH constant.
Term
buffer capacity
Definition
the amount of acid or base a buffer can neutralize.
Term
acid-base titration
Definition
carefully controlled neutralization reaction
Term
standard solution
Definition
contains an acid or base in a known concentration
Term
for arrhenius acids/bases, total moles of H+ ions from the acid (at end point) =
Definition
total moles of OH- ions from the base (at end point)
