STUDY GUIDE NOTES: ACIDS, BASES AND SALTS

Mr.Hatfield's Chemistry students should have completed their Notes on material related to pg. 146-171 (volume 2) of their textbook.   They can download a copy of the Power Point containing those Notes HERE:


Students received a Study Guide based upon this section of Notes on March 24.  If they have not completed it in class today (April 8th), it should be completed and ready to hand in after Spring Break, when Mr. Hatfield's classes will complete their titration labs and have a Unit Test on equilibrium, solutions, molarities, acids and bases.

VIDEO: ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIUM

Students were shown this video in Friday's class.   Paul Andersen demonstrates the centrality of water to most acid-base chemistry, and explains how to calculate equilibrium constants for acids (Ka) and bases (Kb), and how to express those as pKa's or pKb's:
