Unit 6 vocabulary
| 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 ironic 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 Ion |
| 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 yields hydronium ions in water solution. |
| Concentration | The amount of solute in a given amount of solvent in a solution. |
| Boiling Point Elevation Kb | The difference between the boiling points and the pure solvent and a non-electrolyte solution of that solvent and is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution. |
| Freezing Point Depression | The difference between the freezing points and a solution of a non electrolyte in that solvent, and is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solution. |
| Solvation | The process of dissolving. |
| 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 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. |
| OH- | Hydroxide ion. |
