Unit 13--Acids and Bases


Introduction:

Acids and bases are used throughout society and in all biological systems. In this unit you will some basics regarding acids and bases and a couple of techniques for neutralizing an acid or base.
For your test you should be able to:
1) Define the following vocabulary words:
Ka Acidic Solution Alkaline (basic) Solution Amphoteric
Kb Conjugate (acid and base) mono-, di-, tri- protic H ion donor
H ion acceptor Hydronium Ion Hydroxide ion Kw
Lewis acid and base Neutral Solution pH and pOH Buffer
Common ion Equivalence Neutralization Reaction Normality (N)
Salt Hydrolysis Solubility Product (Ksp) Titration
2) Recognize acids and bases from this chemical structures.
3) Calculate pH and pOH and relate these quantities to relative strength of acids and bases.
4) Use normality to neutralize an acid or base by titration.
5) Distinguish among Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis acids and bases.
6) Predict the products of an acid/base reaction.
7) Understand the purpose of indicators.
