Quantitative Analysis

Acid/Base Reactions >

Inquiry question: How are solutions of acids and bases analysed?

Students:
● conduct practical investigations to analyse the concentration of an unknown acid or base by titration
● investigate titration curves and conductivity graphs to analyse data to indicate characteristic reaction profiles, for example:
– strong acid/strong base
– strong acid/weak base
– weak acid/strong base (ACSCH080, ACSCH102)
● model neutralisation of strong and weak acids and bases using a variety of media
● calculate and apply the dissociation constant (Ka) and pKa (pKa = -log10 (Ka)) to determine the difference between strong and weak acids (ACSCH098)
● explore acid/base analysis techniques that are applied:
– in industries
– by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
– using digital probes and instruments
● conduct a chemical analysis of a common household substance for its acidity or basicity (ACSCH080), for example:
– soft drink
– wine
– juice
– medicine
● conduct a practical investigation to prepare a buffer and demonstrate its properties (ACSCH080)
● describe the importance of buffers in natural systems (ACSCH098, ACSCH102)
