On your calculator you would input 10, ^, (-), 5 and you would get 0.00001.<br />

This is also the way to find the amount of OH + that are present in a base.<br />

To find the pH: -log(concentration)<br />

To find the concentration: 10 -pH<br />

Define these terms:<br />

pH scale<br />

A scale used to measure the acidity (or alkalinity) of a substance; the scale is measured from 1-14, 1 being most acidic, 14 being most basic, and 7 being<br />

neutral.<br />

Hydronium ion<br />

H<br />

- +<br />

or H 3O ,occurs when a proton attaches to a water molecule. Appears in solutions of acids, and behaves like a hydrogen ion.<br />

Arrhenius acid/base<br />

+<br />

Acid - any substance which delivers hydrogen ion (H ) to the solution<br />

Base - any substance which delivers hydroxide ion (OH-<br />

) to the solution<br />

Lewis acid/base<br />

Base - Electron donor<br />

Acid - Electron acceptor<br />

Does NOT require solvent<br />

Does NOT require hydronium ion<br />

Bronsted-Lowry acid/base<br />

Acid - A substance from which a proton can be removed<br />

Base - A substacne that can remove a proton from an acid<br />

+<br />

*Remember* : Proton, hydrogen ion, and H all mean the same thing<br />

An acid is a "proton donor"<br />

A base is a "proton acceptor"<br />

Strong acid/base<br />

An acid or base with a high or low pH does not necessarily mean that it is stronger than another base or acid with a higher or lower pH. Strength is<br />

impacted by both pH and ionization energy. The more readily available the H + , or OH - , the more potent the base or acid.<br />

Weak acid/base<br />

An acid or base with a high low pH does not directly translate to it being stronger than another base with a higher or lower pH. Strength is determined by<br />

both pH and ionization energy. The harder it is to remove the H + or OH - , the weaker the base or acid.<br />

Neutralization reaction<br />

A reaction where enough of one substance (either basic or acidic) completely saturates the opposite substance (acid or base), so that there is neither an excess<br />

of hydronium, nor of hydroxide.<br />

Titration<br />

When a solution of known concentration is used to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution.<br />

Titrant - Known concentration<br />

added to<br />

Analyte - Unknown concentration<br />

until the reaction is entirely complete.<br />
