Acids and Bases Flashcards
Define Lowry-Brønsted
Acid- A acid is defined as a proton donor.
Base- A base is define as a proton acceptor.
Define Ionization
The reaction of a molecular substance with water produce ions.
Define dissociation
The breakdown of an ionic compound in its ions.
Define Strong acid
An acid that ionizes almost completely in an aqueous solution.
Define Strong base
A base that dissociated almost completely in an aqueous solution.
Define Weak acid
An acid that only ionizes partially in an aqueous solution.
Define Weak base
A base that only dissociates partially in an aqueous solution.
Define Amphoteric substance
A substance that can act as acid or a base.
Define A standard Solution
A solution with a known concentration.
Define Hydrolysis
A reaction of an ion (of a salt) with water.
Define A concentrated acid
A large amount of solute dissolved in a small amount of water.
Define A dilute acid
A small amount of solute dissolved in a large amount of water.
Define A standard solution
A standard solution has a known concentration and it will remain constant for a while.
Define a Salt
A substance in which a hydrogen of an acid has been replaced by a cation.
Define Neutralisation( Equivalence point)
The point where an acid and base have reacted so neither is in excess.
