Chapter 18 -- Key Concepts

• Identify the character (acid/basic/neutral) of ions in solution.

• Calculate the pH of a salt solution (including the possibility of common ions).

• Calculate the pH at any point in a weak acid/strong base or weak base/strong acid titration.

• Calculate the pH change in a buffer solution when acid or base is added.

• Determine the appropriate composition of a buffer and its capacity.
