Acids & Bases
  • 5. Acids, bases, and salts are three classes of compounds that form ions in water solutions. As a basis for understanding this concept:
    • a. Students know the observable properties of acids, bases, and salt solutions. Ch. 19.1
    • b. Students know acids are hydrogen-ion-donating and bases are hydrogen-ion-accepting substances. Ch. 19.1
    • c. Students know strong acids and bases fully dissociate and weak acids and bases partially dissociate. Ch. 19.2
    • d. Students know how to use the pH scale to characterize acid and base solutions. Ch. 19.3
    • e.* Students know the Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis acid-base definitions. Ch. 19.1
    • f.* Students know how to calculate pH from the hydrogen-ion concentration. Ch. 19.3
    • g.* Students know buffers stabilize pH in acid-base reactions. Ch. 19.4
