| A | B |
|---|
| electrolyte | compound that breaks apart in water, forming ions that conduct electricity |
| acid | produces hydrogen ions (H+) in water |
| hydronium ion | H+ ions interact with water molecules |
| indicator | organic compound changes color in acid or base |
| hyroxide ion | OH- forms when base dissolved in water |
| base | produces OH- when dissolved in water |
| ionization | process - some molecules dissolve in water and separate into charged particles |
| strong acid | all acid ionizes dissolved in water |
| weak acid | small fraction of acid ionize in water |
| strong base | disassociates completely in water |
| weak base | one that does not ionize completely |
| pH | measure of concentration of H+ (H3O+) (acidic or base) |
| buffer | solutions containing ions that react with acids or bases to minimize effect on pH |
| nonpolar molecule | molecule that shares electrons equally, does not have oppositely charges ends |
| neutralization | chemical reaction between acid and base , forms salt & water |
| salt | compound formed when negative ions from acid combine with positive ions from base |
| titration | process - solution of known concentration is used to determine concentration of another solution |
| soap | salts with polar end to dissolve in water; nonpolar end interacts with dirt and oil |
