This topic covers the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, which defines an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor.
Properties of Acids and Bases: Understanding the difference between acids and bases, as well as their properties, is the foundation for learning about Bronsted-Lowry theory.
pH scale: Understanding the pH scale and how it measures acidity or basicity is important to grasp the concept of Bronsted-Lowry theory.
pH calculation: Learning how to calculate the pH of solutions containing acids and bases.
Types of acids and bases: Understanding the different types of acids and bases, such as strong, weak, organic, and inorganic, and how they behave in solution.
Hydrogen ion concentration: Know how hydrogen ion concentration is related to pH and how to calculate it.
Acid-Base Equilibria: Understanding the concept of acid-base equilibrium and how it relates to Bronsted-Lowry theory.
Bronsted-Lowry Theory of Acids and Bases: The fundamentals of Bronsted-Lowry theory, including the definition of an acid and a base.
