Exam IV:

Sections 1 - 7 (Note: even though Sections 1 - 5 were covered on Exam III, this material is still important to understand salts, common ions, neutralization reactions and buffers.)

• Arrhenius definition of acids and bases;

• memorize the strong acids and the strong bases discussed in class;

• autoionization of water and K_w;

• pH, pOH and pK;

Sections 1 - 2 (Note: Our textbook takes a different approach to buffer solutions than we have. You are responsible for solving neutralization and buffer problems the way I described them in class and as shown in our problem sets. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation has not been discussed in class, so do not use it when solving buffer problems.)

• pH calculations of weak base and its conjugate acid (common ion);

• predicting the products of neutralization reactions;

• calculating the K for a neutralization reaction;
