| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dissociation | the separation of ions that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves |
| Hydronium ion | the H3O+ ion |
| Ionization | the formation of ions from solute molecules by the action of the solvent, any process that results in the formation of an ion |
| Strong electrolyte | any compound of which all or most ofthe dissolved compound exists as ions in aqueous solution |
| Weak electrolyte | a compound of which a relatively small amount of the dissolved compound exists as ions in an aqueous solution |
| pH | the negative of the common logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration of a solution |
| pOH | the negative of the common logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution |
| Acid base indicator | a compound whose color is sensitive to pH |
| Titration | the controlled addition and measurement of the amount of a solution of known concentration required to react completely with a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration |
| End point | the point in a titration at which an indicator changes color |
| Equivalence point | the point at which the two solutions used in a titration are present in chemically equivalent amounts |
| Alkaline | a solution in which a base has completely dissociated in water to yield aqueous OH- ions |
| Arrhenius Acids | a chemical compound that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions, H+, in aqueous solution |
| Arrhenius Base | a substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions, OH-, in aqueous solution |
