  • GCE A-Level H1 Chemistry 8873-2027

Learning objectives

  • show understanding of, and apply the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases
  • show understanding of, and apply the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, including the concept of conjugate acids and conjugate bases
  • explain qualitatively the differences in behaviour between strong and weak acids and bases in terms of the extent of dissociation
  • explain the terms pH; Ka; Kb; Kw [the relationship Kw = KaKb is not required]
  • calculate [H+(aq)] and pH values for strong acids and strong bases
  • explain the choice of suitable indicators for acid-base titrations, given appropriate data, in terms of the strengths of the acids and bases
  • — explain how buffer solutions control pH
  • — describe and explain the uses of buffer solutions including the role of CO32− /HCO3− in maintaining pH in oceans, and how the rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide gas contributed to ocean acidification
