Question | Answer |
---|---|
titration | process in which a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of another solution |
soaps | organic salts with non polar, hydrocarbon ends that interact with oils and dirt and polar ends that helps them dissolve in water |
salt | a compound formed when the negative ions from an acid combine with the positive ions from a base |
neutralization | a chemical reaction between an acid and a base that takes place in a water solution |
acid | a substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution |
hydronium ions | H3O+ ions, which form when an acid dissolves in water and H+ ions interact with water |
strong base | any base that dissociates completely in solution |
weak base | any base that does not dissociate completely in solution |
strong acid | any acid that dissociates almost completely in solution |
weak acid | any acid that partly dissociates in a solution |
indicator | an organic compound that changes color in an acid and base |
base | any substance that forms hydroxide ions, OH-, in a water solution |
pH | a measure of the concentration of H+ ions in it |
buffer | a solution that contains ions that react with additional acids or bases to minimize their effects of pH |
