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.

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.

Explain amphiprotic behaviour and identify species that can both donate and accept protons.

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.

Compare strong and weak acids and bases through extent of ionisation and experimental evidence.
