solutions test Flashcards
mixture
combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
salt
ionic compound that forms when a metal atom replaces the hydrogen of an acid
electrolyte
substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts an electric current ex. salt
non-electrolyte
substance that doesn’t ionize when dissolved, are polar-covalent/covalent
neutralization
reaction of the ions that characterize acids and the ions that characterize bases to form water molecules and a salt
hydroxide ion
OH, in bases
hydronium/ hydrogen ion
H, in acids
indicator
compound that can reversibly change color depending on conditions such as pH
dissolve
to break down into a liquid
dissociate
cation and anion get surrounded by water and pulled apart, breaking atoms and ions into smaller forms
weak acid
are partially ionized in water
strong acid
fully ionize in water
dilute
small amount of solute, a lot of water
concentration
the amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solution
homogenous mixture
mixture that looks the same
