A concept that acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution and bases produce hydroxide ions
Arrhenius model
A concept that acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution and bases produce hydroxide ions. Arrhenius model. The Arrhenius model explains how acids and bases behave in water by releasing specific ions.

A model proposing that an acid is a proton donor and that a base is a proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry model
A model proposing that an acid is a proton donor and that a base is a proton acceptor. Bronsted-Lowry model. The Bronsted-Lowry model explains acids and bases in terms of their ability to donate or accept protons, respectively.

The amount of acid or a base a buffer solution can absorb without a significant change in pH
Buffer capacity
The amount of acid or a base a buffer solution can absorb without a significant change in pH. Buffer capacity. Buffer capacity is the ability of a solution to resist changes in pH when acids or bases are added.

Two substances that are related by the loss or gain of a single hydrogen ion
Conjugate acid-base pair
Two substances that are related by the loss or gain of a single hydrogen ion conjugate acid-base pair. In science, a conjugate acid-base pair consists of two molecules, where one can donate a hydrogen ion and the other can accept it.

The point in a chemical reaction at which equivalent quantities of acid and base have been mixed
Equivalence point
The point in a chemical reaction at which equivalent quantities of acid and base have been mixed. Equivalence point. It is the stage in a titration where the amount of acid equals the amount of base, neutralizing each other completely.

The value of the equilibrium constant expression for the self-ionization of water
Ion-product constant
The value of the equilibrium constant expression for the self-ionization of water. Ion-product constant. The ion-product constant is the product of the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water, which remains constant at a given temperature.

A chemical reaction where an acid and a base are combined, destroying the properties of both, producing water and salt
Neutralization reaction
A chemical reaction where an acid and a base are combined, destroying the properties of both, producing water and salt. Neutralization reaction. In a neutralization reaction, an acid and base mix to cancel each other out and form water and salt.

An acid that contains an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and at least one other element
Oxyacid
An acid that contains an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and at least one other element. Oxyacid. Oxyacids are acids that have oxygen bonded to hydrogen and another element, often playing a key role in chemistry and biology.

A chemical reaction between water and a dissolved salt, may produce an acidic or basic solution
Salt hydrolysis
A chemical reaction between water and a dissolved salt may produce an acidic or basic solution. Salt hydrolysis is when the ions from a dissolved salt react with water to form an acidic or basic solution.

Are solutions that contain a known and accurate amount of a substance or element
Standard solution
Are solutions that contain a known and accurate amount of a substance or element. standard solution. A standard solution is a liquid mixture with a precisely measured amount of a substance used in experiments for accurate results.

A solution of known concentration that is added to another solution in order to determine the concentration
Titrant
A solution of known concentration that is added to another solution in order to determine the concentration. Titrant. A titrant is a chemical solution used to precisely measure the concentration of another solution.

A technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution
Titration
A technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Titration. Titration is a method in Science to find out how much of a substance is in a liquid by adding another liquid with a known concentration until a reaction shows the end point.
