IB DP Chemistry R3.1 L7 | Neutralisation Reactions and Salt Formation | Lesson Walkthrough

Write neutralisation reactions, identify spectator ions and explain salt formation.

Interpret strong acid-strong base titration curves and explain the sharp pH change near equivalence.

Calculate pOH and connect pH, pOH and acid-base concentrations.

Use Ka, Kb, pKa and pKb to quantify acid and base strength.

Relate conjugate acid and base strengths using Ka, Kb and Kw.

Predict the pH of salt solutions using hydrolysis and acid-base equilibria.

Convert between pH and hydrogen-ion concentration and interpret the logarithmic pH scale.

Use water equilibrium and the ion product Kw to relate hydrogen-ion and hydroxide-ion concentrations.

Define Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases and identify proton transfer in reactions.

Identify conjugate acid-base pairs and track the changes in proton number and charge.
