Chapter 4 slides Flashcards
Bronsted acid
proton donor
Bronsted base
proton acceptor
proton
hydrogen atom that has lost its electron
monoprotic acid
has one proton to donate
polyprotic acid
has more than one acidic hydrogen atom
neutralization reaction
reaction between an acid and a base
- generally produces water and a salt
equivalence point
point in the titration where the acid has been neutralized
oxidation-reduction reaction (redux reaction)
chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred from one reactant to another
displacement reaction
an atom or an ion in a compound is replaced by an atom of another element
solution
homogenous mixture of 2+ substances
electrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to yield a solution that conducts electricity
non-electrolyte
a substance that dissolves in water to yield a solution that does not conduct electricity
strong electrolyte
an electrolyte that dissociates completely
weak electrolyte
compound that produces ions upon dissolving but exists in solution predominantly as molecules that are not ionized
hydration
water molecules surround individual ions
