| amphoteric | Having the characteristics of an acid and a base and capable of reacting chemically either as an acid or a base. |
| arrhenius acid | any substance that releases H+ ions in water. |
| arrhenius base | any substance that releases OH- ions in water. |
| Bronstead-Lowry Acid | a substance that can donate H+ ions. |
| Bronstead-Lowry Base | a substance that can accept H+ ions. |
| electrolytes | A substance whose aqueous solution conducts electricity. |
| hydronium ion | H3O+; the conjugate acid of H2O; responsible for acidic properties in water solutions. |
| hydroxide ion | OH-; the conjugate base of H2O; responsible for basic properties in water solutions. |
| indicator (acid/base) | a substance that undergoes a color change to signal a change in chemical conditions; acid-base indicators change color over specified pH ranges. |
| neutralization | the reaction of equivalent amounts of hydronium and hydroxide ions in aqueous solution; the principal product is water. |
| pH scale | a scale of acidity and basicity based on the hydroniumn ion concentration in aqueous solution; ranging from 0 to 14; 7 being neutral |
| titration | the addition of known volume of a standard solution in order to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. |
