| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| pH | hydrogen ion concentration |
| Titration | method used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution |
| Dissociation | The separation of ions that occur when an ionic compound dissolves |
| Electrolyte | A substance that dissolves in water to give the solution the ability to conduct electricity. |
| Base | proton acceptors identified by release of hydroxide ions. |
| H3O+ | Hydronium |
| Molarity | Number of moles of solute in one liter of solution |
| Molality | The concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
| Colligative Properties | Depend on the concentration of solute particles but not on their identity. |
| Acid | proton donors that yield hydronium ions in water solution |
| Concentration | The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent in a solution. |
| Boiling Point Elevation | The difference between the boiling points of the pure solvent and a nonelectrolyte solution of that solvent and is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution. |
| Freezing Point Depression | The difference between the freezing points of the pure solvent and a solution of a non electrolyte in that solvent, and is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution. |
| Kf | Molal Freezing point constant |
| Kb | Molal Boiling point constant |
| Buffer | solutions that are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications |
| Solubility | The capability to dissolve. |
| End point | The point in a titration at which no more titrant should be added. It is determined, for example, by a color change in an indicator or by the appearance of a precipitate. |
| Neutralization | a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form a salt. |
| pOH | hydroxide ion concentration |
