As a model of the new system a prototype allows for several forms of communication. First, it allows the developers to communicate to the users their understanding of the requirements. (Obviously before a prototype can be built there must be some initial requirements discussions between developers and users).
(Arrhenius) a substance that yeilds hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution; metallic oxides in water. Buffers. substances that in solution are capable of neutralizing, within limits both acids and bases, and thereby maintaining the original or constant pH of the solution; substances that prevent changes in pH. Ex. borax, sodium phosphates, and citrates. Crystallization. the process by which a substance is given definite form.
The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water. In this traditional representation an acid-base neutralization reaction is formulated as a double-replacement reaction.
