Chapter 12 - Acids and Bases Flashcards
a compound, which ionizes to yield hydrogen ions (H+
) in aqueous solution.
Arrhenius acid
an acid that contains only one ionizable hydrogen.
monoprotic acid
an acid that contains multiple ionizable hydrogens.
polyprotic acid
a compound, which ionizes to yield hydroxide ions (OH−
) in aqueous solution
Arrhenius base
The _____ of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration.
pH
The ____ of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide-ion concentration.
pOH
a reaction in which an acid and a base react in an aqueous solution to produce a salt and
water
neutralization reaction
an ionic compound composed of a cation from a base and an anion from an acid
salt
an experiment where a volume of a solution of known concentration is added to a volume of another
solution in order to determine its concentration.
titration
a substance that has a distinctly different color when in an acidic or basic solution
indicator
A commonly used indicator for strong acid-strong base titration.
phenolphthalein
the solution in a titration whose concentration is known.
standard solution
The ____ of a titration is the point at which the indicator changes color.
end point
