Definitions [5]
Define the term ‘basicity’ of an acid.
The basicity of an acid is defined as the number of hydronium ions (H3O+) that can be produced by the ionization of one molecule of that acid in aqueous solution.
Define Acid.
An acid is a compound which when dissolved in water produces hydronium ion(H3O+), the only positively charged
ion and a negative ion.
Acids are defined as compounds which contain one or more hydrogen atoms and when dissolved in water, produce hydronium ions (H3O+) the only positively charged ions.
Define Acidic buffer solution.
A solution containing a weak acid and its salts with strong base is called an acidic buffer solution.
Define buffer solution.
A buffer solution is defined as a solution which resists drastic changes in pH when a small amount of strong acid, strong base, or water is added to it.
