| 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 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 | the concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent |
| 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 kb | 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 boiling points of the pure solvent and a nonelectrolyte solution of 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 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 |
| OH- | hydroxide ion concentration |
