Le Chatliers Principle
the position of an equilibrium always shifts in such a direction as to relieve a stress applied to the system
Brownsted Lowry Acid
a molecule that donates a proton when it encounters a proton acceptor
Neutralization
occurs when a reaction involving an acid and its conjugate base is combined with a second reaction involving a base and its conjugate acid
strong acid
ionizes completely when dissolved in water
common ion effect
shift in the position of equilibrium caused by the addition of a participating ion
weak electrolyte
only partially ionizes when dissolved in water
amphoteric
is capable of acting as either an acid or a base depending upon the solute
autoprotolysis
the act of self-ionization of a solvent to produce both a conjugate acid and a conjugate base
zwitterion
a chemical species that bears both positive and negative charges
