Chapter 15.3 Flashcards
What is any ionic compound that does not contain a hydrogen ion or hydroxide ion?
Salt
What happens when solutions of two soluble salts are mixed?
A cation of one reacts with an anion of the other to form an insoluble salt as a precipitate
What is any substance that produces hydroxide anions?
Base
What is any substance that produces hydrogen cations when dissolved in an aqueous solution?
Acid
What are substances that are neither acids nor bases?
Neutral
What forms when H+ ions attach themselves to water?
Oxonium ions
What completely dissociates to form oxonium ions? Examples include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid.
Strong acids
What only partially dissociate to form ions? Examples include acetic acid (found in vinegar).
Weak acids
What are bases that completely dissociate or react to form hydroxide ions when dissolved in aqueous solutions? Examples include sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
Strong bases
What are bases that only partially ionize in solution to produce hydroxide ions? Examples include ammonia
Weak bases
What is a reaction performed with a strong acid and strong base that produces a neutral salt and water?
Neutralization reaction
What scale indirectly represents oxonium concentration using powers of 10?
pH scale
What is the mathematical statement of the pH of a solution?
Additive inverse of the exponent when H3O+ in moles per liter is expressed as a power of 10.
What is a substance that changes color depending on the pH of a solution?
Acid-base indicator
What is a solution that resists changes in pH because it contains a weak acid and one of its basic salts or a weak base and one of its acidic salts?
Buffer
