Titrations
100

This is the basic unit of all matter

Atoms

100

These are the 3 subatomic particles.

Protons, neutrons, and electrons

100

The term neutral indicates that a substance has a pH of...

7

100

What REDOX stands for

Reduction and Oxidation

100

The substance used to determine when to stop an acid-base titration

indicator

200

The process by which atoms or groups of atoms in substances are reorganized into different substances.

A chemical reaction/change

200

An element that exists naturally as a diatomic molecule

Any of hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine, Oxygen, Bromine, Iodine, 
200

Substances with pH below 7.

Acids

200

Electrode where reduction occurs

Cathode

200

Represents when the acid and base have reacted in exactly the correct mole ratio

Equivalence point


300

The energy needed to get a chemical reaction to proceed.

Activation energy

300

The charge formed by a group 2 element when it becomes an ion

2+

300

In a salt water solution, this is the solute.

salt

300

The charge of Mn in KMnO4

+7

300

Represents when an acid-base titration was actually stopped.

End point

400

A pure substance made up of only one kind of atom.

Element

400

A 'bond' (intermolecular force) that forms between the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another.

Hydrogen bond

400

This term means a substance that can act as both an acid and a base

Amphiprotic

400

An atom that has an oxidation number change from 0 to +3 has been... 

oxidised 

400

On a titration curve, this is the relatively flat region before the steep vertical rise  

Buffer zone
500

The elements present in a glucose molecule 

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

500

In this type of reaction, energy is released.

Exothermic

500
Difference between an acid and a base, according to Bronsted and Lowry
Acid = proton donor

Base = proton acceptor

500
If water is oxidised during electrolysis instead of the solute, this will form

oxygen (O2)

500

The point at which the pH of the solution is equal to the pKa of the weak acid

Half equivalence point
