8: Acids and Bases

Acids and bases have a multitude of properties and play a large role in the understanding of the formation and breaking of bonds throughout organic and organometallic chemistry. Specifically, aqueous acid and base chemistry has such an important role that it has developed a lot of tools and specific nomenclature for understanding its systems and strengths of the species ionizations/reactions. For this reason, this is broken down into the study of the following two categories:
Acids and Bases in Equilibrium
This studies the properties and equilibrium constants associated with acids, bases, conjugate acid-base pairs, pH, pOH, \(K_a\), \(K_b\), and \(K_w\).
Additional Aspects of Acid-Base Equilibria
This extends the systems from above to specific acid/base interactions such as titrations, buffers, and more complex acid/base systems.
