Acids And Bases Flashcards
Bronsted-Lowry Base
Proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
Proton donor
Amphoteric or amphiprotic
Substance that can act as an acid or base
Ligand
Lewis base forms a dative bond and surrounds a metal ion in a complex ion
Alkalis
Soluble bases
Acid - base indicators
Reversibly change color based on the concentration of H+
Litmus
Well known acid / base indicator
Universal indicator
Changes color many times across the pH spectrum, is made by mixing several indicators
Salt
Results when the H+ of an acid is replaced by a metal or other positive ion
Parent acid
Describes the relationship between an acid and its salt
Neutralization reactions
Reactions between acids and bases
Titration
Used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base
Equivalence point
The point in which an acid and base exactly neutralize each other
Standardization
Process of determining the concentration of an acid or base through a titration
Effervescence
Reactions which visibly give off bubbles, such as acids with metals
