|
Acidic Solution |
has a pH less than 7; an acidic solution has H+ ions |
|
|
Alkali |
a soluble base; for example Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) |
|
|
Alkali Metals |
the Group I elements of the Periodic Table |
|
|
Alkaline Earth Metals |
the Group II elements of the Periodic Table |
|
|
Alkaline Solution |
has a pH above 7; alkaline solutions contain OH- ions |
|
|
Amphoteric |
can be both acidic and basic in its reactions; for example aluminum oxide is an amphoteric oxide |
|
|
Base |
a metal oxide or hydroxide; a base will neutralize acid, to form a salt and water |
|
|
Carboxylic Acids |
a family of organic acids, which have the COOH functional group; ethanoic acid is an example |
|
|
Indicator |
a chemical that shows by its color whether the substance is acidic or alkaline |
|
|
Neutral (Oxide) |
is neither acidic nor basic; carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral oxide |
|
|
Neutral (Solutions) |
neither acidic nor alkaline; neutral solutions have a pH of 7 |
|
|
pH Scale |
a scale that tells you how acidic or alkaline a solution is, on a scale of 0 to 14; 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline |
|
|
Quicklime |
another name for calcium oxide (CaO) |
|
|
Slaked Lime |
another name for calcium hydroxide (CaOH) |
|
|
Universal Indicator |
a paper or liquid you can use to find the pH of a solution; it changes color across the whole range of pH, red being most acidic and purple being most alkali |
|
|
Weak acids |
acids in which only some of the molecules are disassociated, to form H+ ions; ethanoic acid is a weak acid |
