Section 16.1 Acid Rain
(p. 782-790)
This tutorial explores the effects of fossil fuel burning
on the pH of rainwater, as well as the resulting environmental
and industrial consequences. Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.2 Acid-Base Ionization
(p. 790-797)
This tutorial explores the differences among Brønsted-Lowry
acids, Brønsted-Lowry bases, Lewis acids and Lewis
Bases. Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.3 Acid Strength
and Molecular Structure (p. 797-801)
Learn to determine relative acid strength based on the molecular
and electronic structure of the acid. Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.4 pH Scale
(p. 801-805)
This tutorial introduces the pH scale and uses interactive
graphs to explain the relationship between pH, pOH [H3O+],
and [OH–]. Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.4 Self-Ionization
of Water (p. 801-805)
This tutorial illustrates the process by which water molecules
act as both a proton acceptor (base) and a proton donor (acid),
and explores the equilibrium constant (Kw) for the
self-ionization of water. Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.6 Buffers
(p. 811-816)
Use the Henderson-Haselbalch equation to predict the pH of
a buffer. The tutorial concludes with practice exercises and
an interactive titration experiment.
Section 16.7-16.8 Strong
Acid and Strong Base Titration (p. 816-824)
This interactive virtual titration lab introduces the titration
apparatus and challenges you to determine the concentration
of an unknown acid from the volume of basic solution added.
Includes practice exercises.
Section 16.8 Titrations
of Weak Acids (p. 817-824)
Learn to read and understand the different stages of a titration
curve for a weak acid or polyprotic acid, and understand what
is happening at a molecular level. Includes practice exercises.
