| acid | substance that produces hydrogen ions in a water solution |
| hydronium ion | H30+ |
| indicator | organic compound that changes color in presence of acids and bases |
| hydroxide ion | OH- |
| base | substance that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water |
| strong acid | all the acid ionizes upon dissolving in water |
| weak acid | only a small fraction of acid ionizes in water |
| strong base | a base that dissociates completely |
| weak base | a base that does not ionize completely |
| pH | measure of concentration of hydrogen ions in solution |
| buffer | solution containing ions that react with acids or bases to minimize their effects on pH |
| neutralization | a chemical reaction between an acid and a base that forms a salt and water |
| salt | a compound formed when negative ions from an acid combine with positive ions from a base |
