At the completion of this chapter, students should be able to:
- Distinguish between strong, weak and nonelectrolytes; between strong and weak acids and bases; and between precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions
- Apply the solubility rules to predict the product of a precipitation reaction
- Write and balance a net ionic equation for a precipitation, acid-base, and redox reaction.
- Determine the concentration of an unknown using titration data
- Define molarity, calculate molarity concentrations of compounds or ions, and do sequential dilution calculations
- State the oxidation number of each atom in a given compound or element
- Use the metal activity series to predict the outcome of the reaction between a metal and either a metal ion or an acid
