Acids, Bases, and Solutions Vocabulary

Flashcards on acids, bases, dissociation, solubility, and molarity calculations.

Dissolving

The general physical process of a solute spreading uniformly through a solvent to form a solution.

Dissociation

A specific chemical process where an ionic compound breaks apart into separate charged ions when it dissolves.

Soluble

Substances that dissolve in water to form a gel or solution.

Insoluble

Substances that do not dissolve and remain separate.

Strong Acids

Acids that dissociate 100% into ions, listed as HCL, HBr, HI, HNo3, HClO3, HClO4, and HSO4.

Strong Bases

Bases that dissociate 100% into ions, listed as LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2.

Weak Acids

Acids that are not strong.

Weak Bases

Any bases that are not strong, including ammonia ($NH_3$).

Molarity Formula

The equation $M = \frac{\text{Moles}}{L}$, representing molarity as moles divided by liters.

Dilution Formula

The calculation equation $M_1 V_1 = M_2 V_2$.
