Ch. 18 Flashcards
Basic solution
Contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
Acidic solution
Contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
Arrhenius Model
An acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution
Bronsted-Lowry model
An acid is a hydrogen-ion donor and a base is a hydrogen-ion acceptor
Conjugate acid
The species produced when a base accepts a hydrogen ion
Conjugate base
The species produced when when an acid donates a hydrogen ion
Conjugate acid-base pair
Two substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single hydrogen ion
Amphoteric
Substances that can act as both acids and bases
Lewis Model
Acid is an electron-pair acceptor and a base is an electron-pair donor
Strong acid
Acids that ionize completely into hydronium and chloride ions
Weak acid
An acid that ionizes partially in dilute aqueous solution
Acid ionization constant
The value of the equilibrium constant expression for the ionization of a weak acid
Strong base
A base that disassociates entirely into metal ions and hydroxide ions
Weak base
A base that ionizes partially in dilute aqueous solution
Base ionization constant
The value of the equilibrium constant expression for the ionization of a base
