Definitions Flashcards
Salt
A substance in which a hydrogen of an acid has been replaced by a cation
Neutralization
The point where an acid and a base have reacted so neither are in excess
Hydrolysis
A reaction of an ion(from a salt) with water
Indicator
A compound that changes color according to the pH of the substance
Acid
it is a proton donor
Base
A proton acceptor
ionization
the reaction of a molecular substance with water to produce ions.
dissociation
the splitting of an ionic compound into its ions.
A strong acid
An acid that ionizes completely into an aqueous solution
A strong base
A base that dissociates completely in water
A weak acid
An acid that ionizes partially in an aqueous solution
ampholyte
A substance that can act as either an acid and a base
standard solution
a solution of known concentration
Hydrolysis
A reaction of an ion(from a salt) with water
Neutralization/ equivalence point
The point where an acid and a base have reached so that neither are in excess
