Define a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
A proton (H⁺) donor.
Define a Brønsted-Lowry base.
A proton (H⁺) acceptor.
What is a conjugate acid?
The species formed when a base accepts a proton (H⁺).
What is a conjugate base?
The species formed when an acid donates a proton (H⁺).
Define an amphiprotic substance.
A substance that can act as both an acid and a base.
Define neutralization reaction.
The reaction between an acid and a base, forming a salt and water.
Define net ionic equation.
An equation showing only the species that participate in a reaction; spectator ions are omitted.
Difference between complete and net ionic equations?
Complete Ionic: Shows all ions in solution. | Net Ionic: Shows only the reacting species, excluding spectator ions.
Difference between strong and weak acids/bases in net ionic equations?
Strong acids/bases: Dissociate completely into ions. | Weak acids/bases: Remain mostly undissociated (do not dissociate in net ionic equations).
What is the effect of mixing a strong acid with a strong base?
Neutralization occurs, producing a salt and water, and the pH moves towards neutral (pH 7).
What happens if a limiting reactant is present in a neutralization reaction?
The reaction proceeds until the limiting reactant is completely consumed, determining the amount of product formed and the final concentrations of ions in solution.
