This was a short overview of the acid-base aspect of the topic. There are a few new things added to what we were expected to know from last year:
- How to calculate pH from the hydrogen (actually hydronium) ion concentration.
- How to calculate the hydronium ion concentration from the pH
- How to link pH, hydronium ion concentration and properties, such as rate of reaction
We also found out a couple of "lies" from last year:
- pH goes below zero and above 14
- hydrogen ions in solution are actually hydronium ions (H3O+)
- Salts are not always neutral - they may be acidic or alkaline (basic)
