Acids & Bases

acid

a proton donor: ph < 7

base

a proton reciever: ph > 7

mole

molecular mass expressed in grams

pH

-log(Molarity x proticity)

standard solution

a solution of known concentration

molar solution

a solution containing 1 mole of solute and 1L of solvent

primary standard

a pure, stable solid that can be weighted accurately

conjugate pair

an acid & base that differ by H+

monoprotic

only donates 1 proton

anhydrous

contains no water

amphoetic

can both donate and recieve protons

neutralisation

a reaction between an acid and base to form salt and water

standardised solution

a solution whos concentration has been determined accurately by titration against a standard solition

strong acid - strong base

long equivalance

strong acid - weak base

equivalent below 7

weak acid - weak base

short equivalence

weak acid - strong base

equivalent above 7

molarity

concentration of a solution against water
