Module 6 | Acid/base reactions
Content 1: Properties of acids and bases
Lesson 1 | IUPAC nomenclature
-
investigate the correct IUPAC nomenclature and properties of common inorganic acids and bases (ACSCH067)
Lesson 2 | Preparation and use of indicators
-
conduct an investigation to demonstrate the preparation and use of indicators as illustrators of the characteristics and properties of acids and bases and their reversible reactions (ACSCH101)
Lesson 3 | What is an acid and what is a base?
-
predict the products of acid reactions and write balanced equations to represent:
– acids and bases
– acids and carbonates
Lesson 4 | Acids and metals
-
predict the products of acid reactions and write balanced equations to represent:
– acids and metals (ACSCH067)
Lesson 5 | Neutralisation reactions in everyday life
-
investigate applications of neutralisation reactions in everyday life and industrial processes
Lesson 6 | The enthalpy of neutralisation
-
conduct a practical investigation to measure the enthalpy of neutralisation (ACSCH093)
Lesson 7 | Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry theories
-
explore the changes in definitions and models of an acid and a base over time to explain the limitations of each model, including but not limited to:
– Arrhenius’ theory
– Brønsted–Lowry theory (ACSCH064, ACSCH067)
