Term
Definition
acid ionization   reaction involving the transfer of a proton from an acid to water, yielding hydronium ions and the conjugate base of the acid  
🗑
acid ionization constant (Ka)   equilibrium constant for the ionization of a weak acid  
🗑
acid-base indicator   organic acid or base whose color changes depending on the pH of the solution it is in  
🗑
acidic   describes a solution in which [H3O+] > [OH−]  
🗑
amphiprotic   species that may either gain or lose a proton in a reaction  
🗑
amphoteric   species that can act as either an acid or a base  
🗑
autoionization   reaction between identical species yielding ionic products; for water, this reaction involves transfer of protons to yield hydronium and hydroxide ions  
🗑
base ionization   reaction involving the transfer of a proton from water to a base, yielding hydroxide ions and the conjugate acid of the base  
🗑
base ionization constant (Kb)   equilibrium constant for the ionization of a weak base  
🗑
basic   describes a solution in which [H3O+] < [OH−]  
🗑
Brønsted-Lowry acid   proton donor  
🗑
Brønsted-Lowry base   proton acceptor  
🗑
buffer   mixture of a weak acid or a weak base and the salt of its conjugate; the pH of a buffer resists change when small amounts of acid or base are added  
🗑
buffer capacity   amount of an acid or base that can be added to a volume of a buffer solution before its pH changes significantly (usually by one pH unit)  
🗑
color-change interval   range in pH over which the color change of an indicator takes place  
🗑
conjugate acid   substance formed when a base gains a proton  
🗑
conjugate base   substance formed when an acid loses a proton  
🗑
diprotic acid   acid containing two ionizable hydrogen atoms per molecule. A diprotic acid ionizes in two steps  
🗑
diprotic base   base capable of accepting two protons. The protons are accepted in two steps  
🗑
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation   equation used to calculate the pH of buffer solutions  
🗑
ion-product constant for water (Kw)   equilibrium constant for the autoionization of water  
🗑
leveling effect of water   any acid >H3O+, or any base > OH− will react with water to form H3O+, or OH−, respectively; water acts as a base to make all strong acids appear equally strong, and it acts as an acid to make all strong bases appear equally strong  
🗑
monoprotic acid   acid containing one ionizable hydrogen atom per molecule  
🗑
neutral   describes a solution in which [H3O+] = [OH−]  
🗑
oxyacid   compound containing a nonmetal and one or more hydroxyl groups  
🗑
percent ionization   ratio of the concentration of the ionized acid to the initial acid concentration, times 100  
🗑
pH   logarithmic measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution  
🗑
pOH   logarithmic measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution  
🗑
stepwise ionization   process in which an acid is ionized by losing protons sequentially  
🗑
titration curve   plot of the pH of a solution of acid or base versus the volume of base or acid added during a  
🗑
titration   triprotic acid acid that contains three ionizable hydrogen atoms per molecule; ionization of triprotic acids occurs in three steps  
🗑
