Acids & Bases
A substance that has a pH measured higher that 7
What is a base?
This type of solution has more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved, they can only be formed by heating a solution.
What is a supersaturated solution?
This term refers to a substance with a pH of 7, neither basic or acidic.
What is neutral?
This term describes a homogeneous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another
What is a solution?
A line on a solubility curve is going down from left to right, this shows that the solubility of the substance is _______
What is decreasing
This is a type of acid that Ionizes completely when put in water.
What is a strong acid?
This term refers to the larger part of a solution, the part that does the dissolving.
What is a solvent?
This type of bond between two elements involves the sharing of electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
In a solution, the substance that is present in the greatest amount is called this.
What is the solvent?
This chart is used to help identify how soluble a solute is at different temperatures.
What is a solubility curve?
This type of substance releases hydroxide (OH-) ions when put in water.
What are bases?
This type of base will only partially dissociate when put in water.
What is a weak base?
This term refers to the elements and/or compounds on the right side of a chemical equation.
What are products?
When the maximum amount of solute is added to a solvent, the solution is described as this.
What is saturated?
This term describes a solution that contains less solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature.
What is unsaturated?
This indicator turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions, commonly used in laboratory settings.
What is litmus paper?
This term refers to a type of solute that does not allow a solution to conduct electricity.
What is a nonelectrolyte?
This number, given on the periodic table, refers to the amount of protons in an atom. This number also dictates how the periodic table is organized.
What is atomic number?
Solutions that are capable of conducting electricity are described as ______ solutions.
What is electrolyte?
This is the process by which molecular (covalent) compounds break apart in water and gain a charge.
What is ionization?
This substance is formed when an acid and a base react with each other
What is a salt?
This term refers to the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature.
What is solubility?
There are 5 recognized types of chemical reactions, give the names of all 5.
What are combustion, single replacement, double replacement, synthesis and decomposition?
When a solution has very little solute, it is described as.
Name the three ways you can increase the rate at which a solute dissolves.
What are agitation (shaking/stirring), increasing temperature (heating) & increasing surface area (crushing).
