Unit C: Acids and Bases

In this unit you will be looking at the basics of acids and bases. We will be identifying the difference between strong and weak acids and bases. From there we will be calculating pH and pOH along with using indicators to analyze the pH of different solutions.

Key Vocabulary

base hydroxide ion dissociate autoionization

acid strong ionize amphiprotic

indicator weak percent ionization end point

polyprotic neutral neutralization pH curve

monoprotic Arrhenius acid net ionic reaction dibasic

pH Arrhenius base spectator ions equilibrium arrow

pOH hydronium ion dibasic
