Unit 7: Solution Chemistry

Unit Objectives:  At the completion of this Solution Chemistry unit,

1. I can describe and draw the process by which solutes dissolve in solvents. (CK12 Sections 15.5, 16.1)

2. I can determine if a solute will be able to dissolve in a particular solvent and justify why. (CK12 Sections 15.6, 16.2)

3. I can describe different factors that affect the rate of dissolution and explain why it is so. (CK12 Section 16.3)

4. I can identify electrolytes and non-electrolytes and explain why they are classified as so. (CK12 Sections 15.7, 15.8, 15.9)

5. I can write net ionic equations. (CK12 Sections 16.18, 16.19)

6. I can distinguish between saturated and unsaturated solutions. (CK12 Section 16.14)

7. I can calculate the concentration of a solution in terms of molarity. (CK12 Section 16.9)

8. I can calculate the new concentration of a dilute solution. (CK12 Sections 16.11, 16.12)

9. I can perform stoichiometric calculations based on solution data.

10. I can correctly name acids given the molecular formula and vice versa. (CK12 Section 7.12)

11. I can describe the characteristics of acids and bases. (CK12 Sections 21.1, 21.2)

12. I can explain and identify Arrhenius’ acids & bases. (CK12 Sections 21.3, 21.4)

13. I can identify strong acids & bases. (CK12 Sections 21.12, 21.13)

14. I can describe, identify, and predict the products of neutralization reactions. (CK12 Section 21.16)

15. I can predict the pH of salt solutions (hydrolysis). (CK12 Section 21.21)

16. I can explain and identify Bronsted-Lowry acids & bases as well as the conjugate acid-base pairs. (CK12 Sections 21.5, 21.6)

17. I can explain what hydronium and hydroxide ions are and how they are formed. (CK12 Section 21.8)

18. I can predict the acidity or basicity of a solution using various indicators. (CK12 Section 21.20)

19. I can explain and interpret the pH scale, including what range of the scale is acidic, what range is neutral, and what range is basic as well as where common substances would fall on the scale. (CK12 Section 21.9)

20. I can calculate the pH, pOH, [H+], and/or [OH-] given data about an acid or a base. (CK12 Sections 21.10, 21.11)

21. I can define a buffer, identify its components, and explain how it works using chemical reactions to justify my understanding. (CK12 Section 21.23)
