acid/base equilibria
  1. a substance with a sour taste to a substance which produces an excess of hydrogen ions in solution (Arrhenius theory) to the Brønsted-Lowry theory
    1. understanding of the Brønsted–Lowry theory of acid-base behaviour, and use it to identify conjugate acid-base pairs
      1. a Brønsted–Lowry acid is a proton donor and a base a proton acceptor
        1. acid-base equilibria involve transfer of protons
      2. terms:pH, Ka and Kw , pKa and pKw
        1. weak acids and bases are only slightly dissociated in aqueous solution
          1. apply the equilibrium law to deduce the expressions for the equilibrium constants Ka and Kw
          2. experiments: measuring the pH of a variety of substances, eg equimolar solutions of strong and weak acids, strong and weak bases and salts. Comparing the pH of a strong acid and a weak acid after dilution 10, 100 and 1000 times
            1. determine Ka for a weak acid by measuring the pH of a solution
              1. discuss the assumptions made in this calculation
            2. calculate the pH of a solution of a weak acid based on data for concentration and Ka
              1. discuss the assumptions made in this calculation
              2. measure the pH change during titrations and draw titration curves using different combinations of strong and weak monobasic acids and bases
                1. use data about indicators, together with titration curves, to select a suitable indicator and the use of titrations in analysis
                  1. explain the action of buffer solutions and carry out calculations on the pH of buffer solutions, eg making buffer solutions and comparing the effect of adding acid or alkali on the pH of the buffer
                    1. use titration curves to show the buffer action and to determine Ka from the pH at the point where half the acid is neutralised
                      1. explain the importance of buffer solutions in biological environments, eg buffers in cells and in blood (H2 CO3 /HCO3 - ) and in foods to prevent deterioration due to pH change (caused by bacterial or fungal activity)
