Glossary
Acid: produces hydrogen ions, is a proton donor, and is an electron pair acceptor
Alkali: a base that dissolves in water
Arrhenius Theory: acids produce H+ ions, bases produce OH- ions
Base: produces hydroxide ions, is a proton acceptor, and is an electron pair donor
Buffer: a substance that is used to keep the pH level of a solution constant
Bronsted-Lowry Theory: acids are proton donors, bases are proton acceptors
Concentration: the amount of particles per unit volume
Conjugate acid: substance created when a base gains a proton (H+)
Conjugate base: substance left over after an acid loses its proton (H+)
Diluted solution: solution has a small amount of acid or base per unit volume
Dissociation: to split into separate or smaller molecules
Exact Titration: measures the exact amount of acid needed to neutralize a base
Indicator: a compound that changed color at a specific pH value or in the presence of a particular substance to test the acidity, alkalinity or baseness
Lewis Theory: acids are electron pair acceptors, bases are electron pair donors
Molarity: measure of concentration often used when talking about acids and bases
Moles: amount of amount of chemical substance
Neutralization: to make an acidic or basic solution chemically neutral
pH: potential of hydrogen
pH scale: measures how acidic or basic a substance is by its quantity of hydrogen ions
pOH: potential of hydroxide
Strength of an acid: the amount an acid dissociates to form hydrogen ions
Strength of a base: the ability of a base to lose hydroxide ions
Titration: process of neutralization that can determine the molarity of an unknown concentration
[H+]: concentration of hydrogen ions
[OH-]: concentration of hydroxide ions
