Assignment: Acids and Bases
Throughout this unit, you have learned about the properties of acids and bases,
including how they dissociate/ionize in water to produce hydronium and
hydroxide ions. You’ve learned about the pH scale, conjugate acid and base
pairs, making buffers, and how to use titrations to find unknown concentrations of
acids and bases.
In this assignment, demonstrate your understanding of acids and bases by
completing a problem set.
