Acids And Bases Flashcards
1
Q
Arrhenius theory
A
Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution. Bases produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solution
2
Q
Lowry-Bronsted theory
A
An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor
3
Q
Ampholyte
A
A substance that can act as either an acid or a base (water)
4
Q
Hydrolysis
A
The reaction of a salt with water
5
Q
Equivalence point of titration
A
The point at which the acid/base has completely reacted with the base/acid
6
Q
Endpoint of titration
A
The point where the indicator changes colour
7
Q
Kw
A
The equilibrium constant for the ionization of water
8
Q
Auto-ionization of water
A
The reaction of water with itself to form H30+ ions and OH- ions
