Acid-Base Equilibria Revision Intro

Please go to CHEMGUIDE A-B EQUILIBRIA

This will be your absolute guide to Acid-Base Equilibria! Do revise it well during your well-earned holidays. 2nd APR will be hot on your heels once you return, and I'll be noting your progress. Let's do this well for all our sakes!

  1. Sir, do we have to memorize when both alkali & acid added are on the x-axis?
    Because the pH curves are pretty confusing especially under the "A summary of the important curves". They're wrongly labelled right? :D

  2. It's not about memorizing stuff most of the time =p When we add alkali, pH should go up. When we add acid, it's obvious that pH should drop (definition of an acid).

    Hmm I might need to check those, but as long as you get the basics right, there shouldn't be a problem.

  3. Sorry sir, I mostly use memorization TT___TT
    It takes a while for me to understand the concepts, that's why :S
    But alright, I'll keep that in mind :)
    +alkali: up
    +acid: down

    Thank you sir! ^^
