| acid | any substance that produces hydrogen ions, H+, in a water solution |
| hydronium ion | H3O+ ions, which form when an acid dissolvies in water in H+ ions interact with water |
| indicator | organic compound that changes color in acids and bases |
| base | any substance that forms hydroxide ions, OH-, in a water solution |
| strong acid | any acid that dissociates almost completely in a solution |
| weak acid | any acid that only partly dissociates in solution |
| strong base | any base that dissociates completely in a solution |
| weak base | any base that does not dissociate completely in solution |
| pH | a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution using a scale ranging from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most basic |
| buffer | solution containing ions that react with added acids or bases minimize their effects on pH |
| neutralization | chemical reaction that occurs when the H3O+ ions from an acid react with the OH- ions from a base to produce water molecules |
| salt | compound formed when negative ions from an acid combine with positive ions from the base |
| titration | process in which a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of another solution |
| soap | organic salts with nonpolar, hydrocarbon ends that interact with oils and dirt and polar ends that helps them dissolve in water |
