Chapter 10 Flashcards
Acid (Arrhenius or Brønsted-Lowry)
A substance that produces H+ (aq) ions in aqueous solution. Strong acids ionize completely or almost completely in dilute aqueous solution; weak acids ionize only slightly
Acid anhydride
The oxide of a nonmetal that reacts with water to form an acid
Acidic salt
A salt that contains an ionizable hydrogen atom; does not necessaarily produce acidic solutions
amphiprotism
The ability of a substance to exhibit amphoterism by accepting or donating protons
Amphoterism
Ability of a substance to act as either an acid or a base
Anhydrous
without water
Autoionization
An ionization reaction between identical molecules
Base (arrhenius)
A substance that produces OH- (aq) ions in aqueous solution. Strong bases are soluble in water and are completely dissociated. Weak bases ionize only slightly.
Basic anhydride
The oxide of a metal that reacts with water to form a base
Basic salt
A salt containing a basic OH group
Brønsted-Lowry acid
A proton donor
Brønsted-Lowry base
A proton acceptor
Conjugate acid-base pair
In Brønsted-Lowry terminology, a reactant and product that differ by a proton, H+
Coordinate covalent bond
A covalent bond in which both shared electrons are furnished by the same species; the bond between a Lewis acid and a Lewis base
Dissociation
In aqueous solution, the process in which a solid ionic compound separates into its ions
