100

A solution with a pH less than 7, where [H+] is greater than [OH–].

What is an acidic solution?

100

Like HBr, this type of acid dissociates or ionizes completely.

What is a strong acid?

100

The pH of a neutral solution.

What is 7?

100

The products of a neutralization reaction.

What are salt and water?

100

A solution with a weak acid and its conjugate base that resists change in pH.

What is a buffer?

200

Also known as a proton, this is the component by which a conjugate acid-base pair differ.

What is H+?

200

Like HC2H3O2, this type of acid dissociates or ionizes partially.

What is a weak acid?

200

–log[H+]

What is pH?

200

The reactants in a neutralization reaction, a special type of double replacement reaction.

What are an acid and a base?

200

This type of solution results when you have a salt that was produced from a weak acid.

What is basic?

300

Like HCl, a producer of H+ in solution.

What is an Arrhenius acid?

300

This portion of a chemical indicates that it is a strong base.

What is OH- or hydroxide?

300

10–pH

What is [H+]?

300

A lab procedure used to determine the concentration of an unknown.

What is a titration?

300

The chemical that helps produced a buffer in your bloodstream, keeping your blood pH buffered around 7.4.

What is CO2?

400

Like NH3, this accepts H+ in solution.

What is a Bronsted-Lowry base?

400

This equals [H+][A–]/[HA].

What is the acid equilibrium constant, Ka?

400

The sum of pH and pOH.

What is 14?

400

A chemical whose color is pH dependent.

What is an indicator?

400

The ability or measurement of just how much acid or base a buffer can tolerate before being destroyed.

What is buffer capacity?

500

Like FeCl3, this is an electron pair acceptor.

What is a Lewis acid?

500

Occurring in solutions of weak acids, a state of reaction where the forward and backward rates are equal.

What is equilibrium?

500

The equation used to solved for pH when [OH–] is provided.

What is 14 - (-log[OH-])?

500

When moles of acid [H+] equals moles of base [OH–].

What is the equivalence point?

500

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

What is pH = pKa + log ([A–]/[HA])?
