1
Q

hydronium ion

A

The cation formed by the self ionization of water

2
Q

hydroxide ion

A

The anion formed by the self ionization of water.

3
Q

dynamic equilibrium

A

The state of any two-way process In which the concentration of particles remain relatively constant but the identity of the individual particles constantly changes.

4
Q

acid

A

Any substance that donates hydrogen ions.

5
Q

base

A

Any substance that accepts hydrogen ions.

6
Q

Arrhenius model

A

A model of acids and bases in which acid compounds form hydronium ions in aqueous solutions and bases form hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions.

7
Q

Bronsted-Lowry model

A

A model of acids and bases that defines acidity and alkalinity based on hydrogen ion transfer. Acids donate hydrogen ions and bases accept hydrogen ions.

8
Q

monoprotic acid

A

An acid that can donate only one hydrogen atom

9
Q

polyprotic acid

A

An acid of three or more atoms

10
Q

conjugate base

A

The proton acceptor produced after a Brønsted-Lowry acid donates a proton.

11
Q

conjugate acid

A

The proton acceptor produced after a Brønsted-Lowry acid donates a proton

12
Q

salt

A

Any ionic compound that could be produced by the combination of a base cation and an acid anion in a neutralization reaction.

13
Q

neutralization reaction

A

A reaction between an acid and a base. In aqueous solutions the products are a salt and water.

14
Q

pH scale

A

A scale that indicates the acidity of a solution.

15
Q

alkaline

A

Having a pH value greater than 7

16
Q

pH indicator

A

Any substance that turns a specific color in a solution with a particular pH.

17
Q

pH meter

A

An instrument designed to measure the pH of a solution.

18
Q

Describe how water molecules can hydrate various substances.

A

They smash and wedge the other molecules off of the other substance and then surround them.

19
Q

Describe the two ionization reactions that occur in pure water.

A

In the first one a hydrogen atom is transferred to a water molecule. In the second the exact opposite happens.

20
Q

Does a reaction involving an acid and a base have to take place in a water environment?

A

No

21
Q

State the general properties of water-soluble acids discussed in this section.

A

Idk

22
Q

What class of compounds are salts?

A

Ionic compounds.

23
Q

In water solutions what occurs in every neutralization reaction?

A

Idk

24
Q

How do you know when an insoluble salt is formed by an acid base neutralization?

A

You don’t

25
Q

What is a sting acid? Why is an acids strength not related to its concentration?

A

An acid with a low pH. Because the strength can vary.

26
Q

In what two ways may various compounds act as strong bases?

A

They can absorb electrons. Idk.

27
Q

How is the acidity or alkalinity of a solution measure?

A

With the pH scale.

28
Q

What are two different ways to measure the pH of a solution?

A

With a pH meter and a pH indicator.
