01/25/16 - 1/2 and 3/4 AP Chem - U9 Bases

Today's Videos from Your Playlist


-----------------------------------------------------------



Learning Goals

  1. Write the Ka and Kb expressions for weak acids and bases using correct symbols for all quantities.
  2. Solve “RICEE” problems involving acid and base equilibria.
  3. Correctly use the “x is small enough to ignore” approximation when appropriate.
  4. Know when to use the short cut for Ka problems x = √ (Ka x [HA]o) where HA = generalized acid (and use the shortcut when it applies to Kb problems also).

    Big Ideas
    • Big Idea 3:  Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons.
    • Big Idea 6:  Any bond or intermolecular attraction that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in a dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations.
