Unit Eleven:  Acid Base Chemistry

The student can:  

  • define acids and bases using the Arrhenius definition.
    identify properties and characteristics of acid base solutions
  • discuss and compare the ionization of strong acids and bases
  • write ionization equations for acids and describe the difference between a strong and a weak acid (or base)
  • recognize how materials other than compounds beginning with an H+ or having OH- in them can have acidic and basic properties
  • identify substances as to whether they are
    • acids/bases
    • acidic anhydrides
    • basic anhydrides
    • acidic salts
    • neutral salts
    • basic salts
  • specify an acid and a base from which a specific salt could be produced
  • explain how all water solutions can be considered acidic, basic, or neutral
  • calculate the pH, pOH, and [H+] and [OH-] for both strong and weak acids and bases (for the weak acids and bases an equilibrium constant will need to be used.)
  • write reactions between an acid and a
    • carbonate
    • base (neutralization reactions)
    • metal
  • calculate molarity data of an unknown acid or base from titration data
  • perform a titration of an unknown acid and/or a base identifying the equivalence point
  • given information about the nature of an acid base indicators, identify the indicators would be best used in a titration
  • apply various aspects of acid base equilibria to understand one of several phenomena

Ongoing themes

  • Understands the nature of scientific inquiry
  • Use technology (hand tools, measuring instruments, calculators, computers) and mathematics to perform and communicate scientific investigations (SC. 9.9-12.7)
  • Knows how basic research and applied research contribute to new discoveries, inventions, and applications (SC.8.9-12.5)

Unit Twelve:  Reaction Chemistry

The student can:  

  • identify various effects on the rate of a reaction
    • impact of changing…
      • changing concentration (or pressure)
      • changing surface area
      • changing temperature
      • addition of a catalyst
  • draw an energy diagram and identify different components in the graph
    • activation energy
    • heat of reaction
    • reactants
    • products
    • impact of adding a catalyst
    • activated complex
  • explain the meaning of a reaction mechanism utilizing collision theory (the idea that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide)  and incorporate into that understanding the following terms… reactants, activation energy, products, activated complex
