The chemistry and uses of acids, bases and salts
Learning Outcomes
1. Understanding Acids and Bases:
Define and identify acids and bases based on their properties and behavior in solutions.
Understand the concept of pH and its significance in determining the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
Differentiate between strong and weak acids and bases.
2. Properties of Acids and Bases:
Describe the physical properties of acids and bases, including their taste, effect on indicators (litmus paper), and pH values.
Recognize the common acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid) and bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide).
3. Reactions Involving Acids and Bases:
Understand the neutralization reaction between acids and bases to form salts and water.
Write balanced chemical equations for reactions involving acids and bases.
Predict the products of reactions involving acids and bases with metals, metal oxides, and carbonates.
4. Formation and Identification of Salts:
Define salts and describe their formation through various types of reactions (acid-base, acid-metal, acid-carbonate).
Identify common salts and their uses in everyday life.
5. Practical Skills:
Conduct experiments to test the properties of acids and bases using indicators and pH measurements.
Carry out simple neutralization reactions and understand the procedure for preparing salts in the laboratory.
Demonstrate safe handling and proper disposal of acids, bases, and salts during experiments.
6. Real-World Applications:
Relate the concepts of acids, bases, and salts to real-world contexts and their importance in industry and daily life.
Understand the environmental impact of acids and bases, including the effects of acid rain.
