Arrhenius acid - ANSHydrogen-containing compound that produces H+ ions in solution
Arrhenius base - ANSHydroxide-containing compound that produces OH- ions in solution
Ionization - ANSThe process in which individual positive and negative ions are produced from a
molecular compound that is dissolved in solution
Dissociation - ANSThe process in which individual positive and negative ions are released from
an ionic compound that is dissolved in solution
Brønsted-Lowry acid - ANSSubstance that can donate a proton (H+ ion) to some other
substance
Brønsted-Lowry base - ANSSubstance that can accept a proton (H+ ion) from some other
Conjugate acid - ANSThe particle formed when a base gains a hydrogen ion
Conjugate base - ANSThe particle that remains when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion
Amphiprotic Substance - ANSA substance that can either lose or accept a proton and thus can
function as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base
Monoprotic Acid - ANSAn acid that supplies one proton (H+ ion) per molecule during an
acid-base reaction
Diprotic Acid - ANSAn acid that supplies two protons (H+ ions) per molecule during an
acid-base reaction
Triprotic Acid - ANSAn acid that supplies three protons (H+ ions) per molecule during an
acid-base reaction
Strong Acids - ANSTransfers ~100% of its protons to water in an aqueous solution
Strong Bases - ANS100% dissociation in solution
Weak Acid - ANSTransfers only a small percent of its protons to water in an aqueous solution
What is the meaning of Ka? - ANSKa is known as the Acid Ionization Constant, used to predict
the strength of a weak acid. The higher the Ka values, the stronger the weak acid.
