Acids / Bases

A species that acts as a proton ($H^+$) donor.

The species formed after a Brønsted-Lowry acid has donated its proton.

The negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration ($-\log[H^+]$).

An acid that completely dissociates into ions in aqueous solution.

An acid that only partially dissociates, creating a state of equilibrium.

A solution that resists large changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

A weak acid or base that changes color based on the pH of the solution.

Reaction between an acid and a base to produce water and a salt.

A species that can both donate and accept a proton ($e.g., H_2O, HCO_3^-$).

The equilibrium constant for the self-ionization of water ($1.0 \times 10^{-14}$ at $298\text{K}$).

Process of determining the exact concentration of a solution through titration.

A base that dissociates fully in solution ($e.g., NaOH$).
