Glossary
Acid - chemical species that donates protons (H+) and accepts an electron pair
Acidic - something with a pH lower than 7
Alkali - base that dissolves in water
Arrhenius Theory - Acids it produce H+ ions, while bases form OH- signs
Base - chemical species that donates electrons, donates an electron pair, and release OH-
Basic - something with a pH higher than 7
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 the acid per unit volume (liter)
Conjugate Acid - compound created after a base gains a proton (H+)
Conjugate Base - compound created after an acid looses its proton (H+)
Diluted solution - solution is has a small amount of acid or base per unit volume
Indicator - substance that changes color when placed in a solution based on pH level, used to measure pH of a solution
Lewis Theory - acids are electron pair acceptors, bases are electron pair donors
[H+] - hydrogen protons
Neutralization - chemical reaction between mixing an acid and a base that yields a neutral solution
Neutral - something that has a pH of exactly 7
[OH-] - hydroxide ions
pH - power of hydrogen protons and measure of hydrogen ion concentration
pOH - power of hydroxide ions
Strength of an acid - the ability of an acid dissociate and form hydrogen ions in water
Strength of a base - the ability a base to dissociate and form hydroxide ions in water
Titration - process of neutralization that can determine the molarity of an unknown concentration
Weak Acid - an acid that only partially dissociates or not at all to form hydrogen ions in water
Weak Base - a base that only partially dissociates or not at all to form hydroxide ions in water
