| A | B |
|---|
| Arrhenius acid | forms H+ ion in solution |
| Arrhenius base | forms OH- ion in solution |
| solution | the solute dissolves in the solvent |
| dissociation | compound breaking into ions when in solution |
| strong electrolyte | 100% dissociation as solute dissolves in solution. |
| weak electrolyte | very small percentage dissociation in solution |
| molecular equation | chemical equation which shows only the compounds involved in the chemical reaction. |
| ionic equation | chemical equation showing the true nature of particles in the chemical reaction. |
| net ionic equation | chemical equation showing only the particles responsible for the chemical reaction. |
| soluble | able to dissolve in water |
| oxidation | loss of electron from reactant |
| reduction | gain of electron by reactant |
| oxidizing agent | reactant which has gained an electron |
| reducing agent | reactant which has lost an electron |
| redox | a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred |
| acid | substance with sour taste, pH less than 7 |
| base | substance with bitter/soapy taste, pH greater than 7 |
| spectator ion | ions which do not participate in the chemical reaction |
| oxidation number | a number used to keep track of electrons in a redox reaction |
| ion-electron method | method used for balancing redox reactions |
| molarity | the number of moles of solute per liter of solution |
| titration | experimental technique used to determine the concentration of a solution. Often an acid-base neutralization |
| endpoint | when the acid and base perfectly neutralize each other |
| indicator | a substance which changes color depending on the pH of the solution. |
