Griffy Final Flashcards
a model that uses electron-dot structures to show how electrons are arranged in molecules
Lewis Structure
a solution that contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
Acidic Solution
a solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
Basic Solution
an acid-base model that states that an acid is a substance that contains hydrogen and ionizes to produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution and that a base is a substance that contains a hydroxide group and dissociates to produce a hydroxide ion in aqueous solution
Arrhenius Model
an acid-base model in which an acid is a hydrogen-ion donor and a base is a hydrogen-ion acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry Model
the species that results when an acid donates a hydrogen ion to a base
conjugate base
the species produced when a base accepts a hydrogen ion from an acid
conjugate acid
two substances related to each other by the donating and accepting of a single hydrogen ion
conjugate acid-base pair
substances that can act as both acids and bases
amphoteric
an ionic compound whose aqueous solution conducts an electric current
electrolyte
an acid that ionizes only partially in dilute aqueous solution
weak acid
a base that ionizes only partially in dilute aqueous solution to form the conjugate acid of the base and hydroxide ion
weak base
a base that dissociates entirely into metal ions and hydroxide ions
strong base
an acid that ionizes completely
strong acid
the study of quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants used and products formed by a chemical reaction; is based on the law of conservation of mass
stoichiometry
reaction in which an acid and a base in aqueous solution react to produce a salt and water; it is a double-replacement reaction
neutralization reaction
a stoichiometric method for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting a known volume of the solution with a solution of known concentration a titrating solution of known concentration, called the standard solution
titration
point at which moles of hydrogen ions from the acid equal moles of the hydroxide ions from the base; the stoichiometric ratio is equivalent
equivalence point
chemical dyes whose colors are affected by acidic and basic solutions
acid base indicator
the point at which the indicator used in a titration changes color because the equivalence point is reached
end point
an ionic compound made up of a cation from a base and an anion from an acid
salt
solution that resists changes in pH when limited amounts of acid or base are added
buffer
the amount of acid or base a buffer solution can absorb without a significant change in pH
buffer capacity
process in which anions of the dissociated salt accept hydrogen ions from water or the cations of the dissociated salt donate hydrogen ions to water
salt hydrolysis
an acid-base model in which a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor and a Lewis base is an electron-pair donor
