Question

I'm trying to study for my General Chemistry II Exam, but I want to make sure that I don't miss anything important! If you could provide your input on the following concepts, that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!(:

Chapter 18 – Acids and Bases

I. Acids and bases in water

            A. Proton or hydroxide ion release

            B. Classic acid-base definition

            C. Strong acids vs. weak acids

                        1. Acid dissociation constant

                        2. Predicting acid/base strength

            D. pH scale

            E. Bronsted-Lowry acid/base definitions

                        1. Conjugate acid/base pair

            F. pH of weak acids and bases

                        1. Calculate K_a given concentrations

                        2. Calculate concentrations given K_a

                        3. Percent ionization and estimated error

                                    a. When is the quadratic equation necessary?

                        4. Relationship between K_a, K_b and K_w

            G. Autoionization of water

            H. Polyprotic acids and bases

                        1. Relative values of successive ionization constants.
