Acids, Bases, and Salts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acid | a substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution |
| hydronium ions | H30+ ions, which form when an acid dissolves in water and H+ ions interact with water |
| indicator | an organic compound that changes color in acids and bases |
| base | any substance that forms hydroxide ions, OH- , in a water solution |
| strong acid | any acid that dissolves almost completely in solution |
| weak acid | any acid that only partly dissociates in solution |
| strong base | any base that dissociates in solution |
| weak base | any base that does not dissociate completely in solution |
| pH | a measure of the concentration of H+ ions in a solution |
| buffers | solutions containing ions that react with additional acids or bases to minimize their effects on pH |
| neutralization | a chemical rection between an acid and a base that takes place in a water solution |
| salt | a compound formed when the negatice ions from an acid combine with the positive ions from a base |
| titration | a process in which a solution of known concentration is a base, a standard acid solution is used |
| soap | organic salts that have a non-polar organic chain of carbon atoms on one end and either a sodium or potassium salt of a carboxylic acid group at the other end |
