Answer the following on a separate sheet of paper. Make sure to upload your
answers in the canvas and submit the hard copy on our face-to-face schedule.
1. Briefly describe of define:

a. weak electrolyte
a solution in which only a small fraction of the dissolved solute exists as ions. 
b. Bronsted-Lowry base
any species that can accept a proton from another molecule. 
c. the conjugate acid of a Bronsted-Lowry base
the species formed after the base accepts a proton.
d. Neutralization, in terms of the Bronsted-Lowry concepts
 an acid donates a proton to a base.
e. an amphiprotic solvent
Self-ionizing solvent possessing both characteristics of Bronsted acids and bases.
f. a zwitterion
a molecule or ion having separate positively and negatively charged groups.

g. Autoprotolysis
a chemical reaction in which a proton is transferred between two identical molecules.
h. a strong acid
an acid that is completely dissociated in an aqueous solution.
i. Le Chatelier’s Principle
A change in one of the variables that describe a system at equilibrium produces a shift
in the position of the equilibrium that counteracts the effect of this change.

j. the common-ion effect

the effect on equilibrium that occurs when a common ion is added to a solution.
