2. pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

   Pure water has a pH of 7 at 25°C, meaning it is neutral. When an acid is dissolved in water, the pH will be less than 7, while a base, or alkali, will have a pH greater than 7. A strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid, at concentration 1 mol dm −3 has a pH of 0, while a strong alkali like sodium hydroxide, at the same concentration, has a pH ...

3. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

   Acid–base reaction. In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. It can be used to determine pH via titration. Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base ...

4. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

   e. Acid–base homeostasis is the homeostatic regulation of the pH of the body's extracellular fluid (ECF). [ 1 ] The proper balance between the acids and bases (i.e. the pH) in the ECF is crucial for the normal physiology of the body—and for cellular metabolism. [ 1 ] The pH of the intracellular fluid and the extracellular fluid need to be ...

5. Acid–base titration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_titration

   An acid–base titration is a method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of Brønsted-Lowry acid or base (titrate) by neutralizing it using a solution of known concentration (titrant). [1] A pH indicator is used to monitor the progress of the acid–base reaction and a titration curve can be constructed.

6. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

   v. t. e. In chemistry, an acid dissociation constant (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant; denoted ⁠ ⁠) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction. known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions. The chemical species HA is an ...

7. pH indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_indicator

   Acids and bases. A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually or spectroscopically by changes in absorption and/or emission properties. [1] Hence, a pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H 3 O +) or hydrogen ...

8. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

   Acids and bases. The Brønsted–Lowry theory (also called proton theory of acids and bases[1]) is an acid–base reaction theory which was first developed by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry independently in 1923. [2][3] The basic concept of this theory is that when an acid and a base react with each other, the acid forms ...

9. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

   Acids and bases. A Lewis acid (named for the American physical chemist Gilbert N. Lewis) is a chemical species that contains an empty orbital which is capable of accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base to form a Lewis adduct. A Lewis base, then, is any species that has a filled orbital containing an electron pair which is not involved in ...
