Arrhenius acid
|
a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogenn ions (H3O)
|
|
|
arrhenius base
|
a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH)
|
|
|
bronsted-lowry acid
|
any substance that can donate H+ ions
|
|
|
bronsted-lowry base
|
any substance that can receive H+ ions
|
|
|
amphoteric
|
a substance that can act as an acid or a base
|
|
|
neutralization reaction
|
the reaction between an acid or base
|
|
|
conjugate acid
|
when a base gains an H+ ion, it becomes a conjugate acid
|
|
|
conjugate base
|
when an acid loses an H+ ion, it becomes a conjugate base
|
|
|
strong acid
|
an acid that readily transfers H+ ions to water to form H3O ions, strong electrolytes
|
|
|
strong base
|
substances that have the strongest affinity for H+ ions.
|
|
|
weak acid
|
an acid that does not readily transfer H+ ions to water, poor electrolytes
|
|
|
weak base
|
a base that does not have a strong affinity for H+ ions
|
|
|
self-ionization of water
|
where 1 water molecule transfers an H+ ion to a second water molecule, forming an H3O ion and an OH ion; water serves as both an acid and a base
|
|
|
buffers
|
a mixture that is able to absorb or release H+ ions, keeping a solution's pH constant
|
|
|
buffer capacity
|
the amount of acid or base that a buffer can neutralize
|
|
|
titration
|
a carefully controlled neutralization reaction
