Acid/Base Equilibrium

1. pOH

1.1. The logarithmic measure of hydroxide concentration found using: -log of OH-. On a side note pH+pOH=14.

2. pH

2.1. The logarithmic measure of hydrogen ion concentration found using: -log of H+. On a side note pH+pOH=14.

3. H3O+

3.1. Hydronium, a water molecule that receives a hydrogen ion, it is more acidic than water.

4. OH-

4.1. Hydroxide, a water molecule that donates a hydrogen ion, it is more basic than water.

5. H+

5.1. Hydrogen Ion, this ion is donated by acids and received by bases, it's also used to find pH.

6. Equilibrium

6.1. The state where a chemical reaction produces and reacts at the same rate.

7. Kw

7.1. The dissociation constant of water, this is equal to 1*10^-14, Ka*Kb=Kw.

8. Kb

8.1. The base dissociation constant, the measure of the strength of a base in a solution.

9. Ka

9.1. The acid dissociation constant, the measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

10. Self-Ionization of Water

10.1. The ionization of water creating hydroxide & hydronium.

11. Ionization

11.1. The process where a molecule/atom gets a +/- charge by gaining/losing electrons.
