  1. 1Acid-base reaction
    A chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base
  2. 2What did Guillaume-François Rouelle define a base as?
    A substance which reacts with an acid to give it solid form (as a salt)
  3. 3What did Lavoisier define acids in terms of?
    Their containing oxygen, which he named from Greek words meaning 'acid-former'
  4. 4What did Liebig define an acid as?
    A hydrogen-containing compound whose hydrogen can be replaced by a metal
  5. 5Arrhenius acid
    A substance that ionizes in water to form hydrogen cations (H+), increasing the concentration of H+ ions in aqueous solution
  6. 6Arrhenius base
    A substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH−) ions, increasing the concentration of OH− ions in aqueous solution
  7. 7Hydronium ion
    H3O+, formed by the protonation of water
  8. 8Neutralization reaction
    The reaction of an acid with a base, producing a salt and water
  9. 9Main limitation of the Arrhenius definition
    It only applies to aqueous solutions and is restricted to water-based systems
  10. 10Brønsted-Lowry acid
    A substance that can donate hydrogen cations (H+) or protons to bases
  11. 11Brønsted-Lowry base
    A substance that can accept protons (H+) from acids
  12. 12Conjugate base
    The acid with a proton removed; the species formed when an acid donates a proton
  13. 13Conjugate acid
    The base with a proton added; the species formed when a base accepts a proton
  14. 14Conjugate base of HCl
    Cl− (chloride ion)
  15. 15Conjugate acid of H2O
    H3O+ (hydronium ion)
  16. 16Amphoteric
    A substance that can act as both an acid and a base, like water
  17. 17What advantage does the Brønsted-Lowry model have over the Arrhenius model?
    It is independent of any solvent, making it more all-encompassing and applicable to non-aqueous solutions
  18. 18Lewis base
    A compound that can donate an electron pair
  19. 19Lewis acid
    A compound that can receive an electron pair
  20. 20Typical example of a Lewis acid
    Boron trifluoride (BF3), which has a vacancy in its octet
  21. 21Adduct in Lewis acid-base chemistry
    The product formed when a Lewis acid and Lewis base combine with a dative covalent bond
  22. 22Coordination compounds
    Adducts involving metal ions where each ligand donates a pair of electrons to the metal ion
  23. 23Solvent system definition of an acid
    A solute that causes an increase in the concentration of solvonium ions and a decrease in the concentration of solvate ions
  24. 24Solvent system definition of a base
    A solute that causes an increase in the concentration of solvate ions and a decrease in the concentration of solvonium ions
  25. 25Solvonium ions
    A generic name for positive ions in equilibrium with neutral solvent molecules, also called solvo-acids
  26. 26Solvate ions
    A generic name for negative ions in equilibrium with neutral solvent molecules, also called solve-bases
  27. 27Lux-Flood definition of an acid
    An oxide ion (O2−) acceptor
  28. 28Lux-Flood definition of a base
    An oxide ion (O2−) donor
  29. 29Where is the Lux-Flood theory still used?
    In modern geochemistry and electrochemistry of molten salts
  30. 30What does the Usanovich theory define an acid as?
    Anything that accepts negative species or donates positive ones
