26
Q

strong acid/base (definition)

A

an acid/base that disassociates completely in an aqueous solution

27
Q

acid (definition)

A

a chemical that donates H+ (Bronsted-Lowry acid) and/or accepts electrons (Lewis acid)

28
Q

Lewis acid (definition)

A

a chemical that is an electron pair acceptor (when bonding, think about Lewis structure)
ex: BF3

29
Q

Lewis base (definition)

A

a chemical that is an electron pair donor (when bonding, think about Lewis structure)

30
Q

Bronsted-Lowry acid (definition)

A

a chemical that donates a H+

ex: HCl

31
Q

Bronsted-Lowry base (definition)

A

a chemical that accepts H+

ex: KOH

32
Q

litmus paper

A

red: acid
blue: base

33
Q

buffer solution (definition)

A

an aqueous solution of a weak conjugate acid-base pair; resists a change in pH when acid or base is added in small enough quantities

34
Q

weak acid/base (definition)

A

an acid/base that does not disassociate completely in an aqueous solution

35
Q

electrolyte

A

a solute that produces ions in solution

36
Q

strong vs weak electrolyte

A

a strong electrolyte disassociates completely into ions (salts, strong acids/bases), a weak electrolyte only partially disassociates (weak acids/bases)
