Chemistry Chapter 10
Neutralization Reaction - Answer reactions in which an acid and a base in an aqueous
solution react to form a salt and water
Acid - Answer any chemical that donates H+ ions
Base - Answer any chemical that accepts H+ ions
Salt - Answer ionic compound commonly formed from the reaction between an acid and
a base
Strong Acid/Base - Answer conducts strong electrical current, little acid or base remains
when put in H2O
Amphoteric - Answer substance whose ability to act as a base is the same as its ability
to act as an acid
Ex. H2O
[H3O+][OH-] - Answer =10x10^-14
Neutral - Answer solution containing equal number of H3O+ and OH-
Ex. pure water
Acidic - Answer H3O+>OH-
Basic - Answer H3O+<OH-
buffer solution - Answer any solution that resists large changes in pH; works by
containing 2 components - one neutralizes any acids and one neutralizes any bases
pH scale - Answer pH=-log[H3O+]
[H3O+]=10^-pH
Neutral on pH scale - Answer 7
Acidic - Answer <7
Basic - Answer >7
According to the Bronsted-Lowry definition, an acid - Answer donates hydrogen ions
According to the Lewis definition, a base - Answer donates an electron pair
The ionic product of an acid-base reaction is - Answer a salt
Sour foods tend to be - Answer acidic
