Chapter 15
Acids, Bases, and Salts
- Know the three definitions of acids and bases: Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.
- Know the properties of acids and bases.
- Know how acids and bases react.
- Know the difference between strong and weak acids (and strong and weak bases).
- Be able to give at least one example of a strong acid, a strong base, a weak acid, and a weak base.
- Understand conjugate acids and bases.
- A conjugate acid is what is left over after a base acts like a base (i.e., after it has accepted or gained a proton).
- A conjugate base is what is left over after an acid acts like an acid (i.e., after it has donated or lost a proton).
- Be able to calculate the pH of any solution, given the concentration of acid or base. (Applies only to strong acids and strong bases.)
- Understand neutralization.
