acids and bases - Sheet1 Flashcards
Substances that donate protons (H+) in solutions.
Acids
Substances that accept protons (H+) in solutions.
Bases
Measures acidity or basicity from 0 to 14.
pH Scale
Reaction between an acid and a base.
Neutralization
Completely dissociates in water, e.g., HCl.
Strong Acid
Partially dissociates in water, e.g., acetic acid.
Weak Acid
Completely dissociates in water, e.g., NaOH.
Strong Base
Partially dissociates in water, e.g., ammonia.
Weak Base
Solution that resists pH changes upon addition.
Buffer
Technique to determine concentration of an acid/base.
Titration
Substance that changes color at specific pH levels.
Indicator
Species formed when a base gains a proton.
Conjugate Acid
Species formed when an acid loses a proton.
Conjugate Base
H3O+, formed when an acid donates a proton.
Hydronium Ion
Equilibrium constant for weak acid dissociation.
Dissociation Constant (Ka)
