f2.3 conduct an acid–base titration to determine the concentration of an acid or a base (e.g., the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar) [PR, AI]
f2.4 conduct an inquiry, using available technol- ogy (e.g., probewear) or chemical tests, to detect the presence of inorganic substances in various samples of water [PR, AI]
F. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
f3.1 identify major and minor chemical compon- ents of Earth’s atmosphere
f3.2 identify gases and particulates that are com- monly found in the atmosphere, and explain how they affect air quality (e.g., greenhouse gases, tropospheric and stratospheric ozone, carbon monoxide, chlorofluorocarbons, soot)
f3.3 state and explain the Arrhenius definition of acids and bases
f3.4 explain the difference between strong and weak acids, and between strong and weak bases, in terms of degree of ionization
f3.5 identify the gas emissions that are the major contributors to acid precipitation, and explain the steps in the formation of acid rain
f3.6 explain the difference between the concepts of strength and concentration when referring to solutions of acids and bases
f3.7 identify inorganic substances that can be found dissolved in water as a result of natural processes and human activities (e.g., hard water contains metal ions)
