Concepts to Know
- 1. What are the characteristics of acids, bases and neutrals?
- 2. What is pH? What is the pH of acids, bases and neutrals? What do we use to measure or determine pH?
- 3. What are examples of acids, bases and neutrals?
- 4. What happens when you put acids and bases together? What do they form? What is a neutralization reaction?
- 5. What are some common indicators of acids, bases and neutrals and how do they work?
- 6. What is a solution? Solvent? Solute? Saturated solution? Supersaturated solution? Describe chromatography as a method to separate a solution (mixture).
- 7. Why is carbon so important?
- 8. Why can it form so many kids of bonds?
