The strength of a base or acid is really a measure of __ | disassociation--the more it disassociates, the stronger it is. |
Chemical formulas that start with an H are usually __ | acids |
Chemical formulas that end with an H are usually __ | bases (most end with OH) |
A strong acids reaction with water is about _%. | 100 |
Acids and bases are both _ | electrolytes |

An example of a strong base includes | NaOH (sodium hydroxied) |
Ionization is | the dissociation of acids and bases |
Amphiprotic refers to | a substance that is both a proton acceptor and a donator (a substance with the qualities of both an acid and a base is technically amphoteric) |
A conjugate acid is | what the base becomes after it accepts a proton |
A conjugate base is | what the acid become after it donates a proton |
Which side of an equation are conjugate bases and acids written on? | the right |
A conjugate acid-base pair is | the acid and base on opposite sides of a solution |
pH scale measures | the acidity or basicity of a solution |
What unit does the pH scale use? | it is unitless |
The pH scale is defined as | pH = -log[H3O+] |
A neutralization reaction is | the reaction of an acid with a base that produces salt and water |
Titration is | adding a measured amount of a standard solution to a 2nd, unknown solution to neutralize the solution |
A standard solution is | a solution of known concentration |
An indicator is | a substance which changes color as pH changes. |
A buret | is a long glass tube calibrated in mLs that contains a standard solution |
A polyprotic substance | donates or accepts more than one proton per formula unit |
A diprotic substance | donates or accepts 2 protons per formula unit; note that diprotic solutions are also polyprotic |
A monoprotic substance | donates or accepts 1 proton per formula unit |
Is sulfuric acid (H2SO4) diprotic or monoprotic? | diprotic |
Is HCl (hydrochloric acid) polyprotic or monoprotic? | monoprotic |
A buffer solution | is a solution that resists large changes in pH when an acid or base is added |
Buffers establish an __ between conjugate acid-base pairs. | equilibrium |
LeChatelier's Principle is a | buffer in action. |
Buffer capacity is a | measure of a solution's ability to resist large changes in pH when a strong acid or base is added |
Oxidation, as it relates to oxidation-reduction processes, is | a loss of electrons, loss of hydrogen atoms, a gain of oxygen (EHO - Lose Oxygen/more losses than gains) |
