Students will learn to:
Recall basic calculations and definitions about acid-base chemistry.
Interpret the pH scale and use Kw to draw relationships between [H+] and [OH–].
Write reactions represented by Ka and Kb for monoprotic acids.
Interpret the magnitudes of Ka and Kb.
Identify conjugate acid-base pairs.
Calculate the pH of strong acid, strong base, weak acid and weak base solutions
Determine when using the quadratic formula is necessary to determine the pH of a solution.
Find the fractions of association for weak acids and weak bases
Active Learning Resources
Browse resources, explore categories, and discover materials contributed to the ASDL library.
In this activity, students explore methods such as anodic stripping, linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry. There is also an associated text that explains the answers to the questions in the worksheets.
Students explore basic concepts of electrochemistry include electrochemical potential, the Nernst equation and electrochemical cells. There is also an accompanying text that explains all the concepts covered in the worksheet.
