Acids and Bases Flashcards
Molecules that increases the concentration of hydrogen ion in a solution
Acid
Molecule that decreases the concentration of hydrogen ion in a water solution
Base
Hydrogen ions are extremely
Acidic
Having too many ____ _____ or not enough can cause a lot of problems
Hydrogen Ions (Acidic)
Strength of an acid or base measure on
pH scale
pH scale ranges from
0-14
pH of 0 is the
Most Acidic
pH of 14 is the
Most Basic
pH of 7 is the
Most Neutral
Unit of measurement that describes the concentration of hydrogen ions found in a solution
pH
The higher concentration of ions the more ____ a solution
Acidic
The lower concentration of ions the more _____ a solution
Basic
In order to balance out solution we need to make more neutral so we need
Buffers
Solution that can resist changes in pH
Buffer
Help maintain pH of solution within a certain range
Buffers
