19
Q

Amphoteric species

A

One that can act as an acid or base depending on its chemical environment

20
Q

Titration

A

A procedure used to determine the molarity of an acid or base
A known volume of a solution of unknown concentration is reacted with a known volume of a solution of known concentration

21
Q

Equivalence point

A

The number of acid equivalents equals the number of base equivalents

22
Q

End point

A

The point at which an indicator changes colour

23
Q

Indicator

A

Weak organic acids or bases that have different colours in their undissociated and dissociated states

24
Q

Buffer solution

A

Resist changes in pH

A mixture of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt

25
Q

Henderson-Hasselbalach equation

A

Used to estimate the pH of a solution in the buffer region where the concentrations of the species and its conjugate are present in approximately equal concentrations

26
Q

Polyprotic acids and bases

A

Produce titration curve with multiple half-equivalence points in buffer region (= pKa) and equivalence points (predominate species)
