Unit 8: Acids and Bases

Unit 8: Acids and Bases in AP Chemistry explores the properties, behavior, and reactions of acids and bases. Key topics include pH, pOH, the strength of acids and bases, Ka and Kb (acid and base dissociation constants), and the relationship between conjugate acid-base pairs. Students learn about titrations, buffer solutions, and the use of indicators. This unit provides a foundational understanding of acid-base equilibria, essential for solving complex chemical problems and understanding real-world applications in chemistry.
