24
Q

Define buffers

A

Help prevent pH changes if excess acid or base is added
Act to accept H+ from excess acid or donate H+ to neutralize base

25
Define neutralization
When an acidic or basic solution is returned to neutral (pH 7)

What are the three categories of water mixtures?
suspension colloid solution
27
what is suspension
material larger in size than 1 mm mixed with water
28
what is colloid

29
what is solution
homogeneous mixture of material smaller than 1 nanometer
30
What is dehydration
(condensation) the takeing of water out
