Chapter 8.1
Water, pH, and Strong Acids and Bases
Pure water is a very weak acid and a very weak base reacting with itself, one molecule in half a billion at a time. That tiny equilibrium is the ruler every acid and base is measured against.

By the end
- 01Compute pH and pOH from concentrations with the autoionization constant of water
- 02Explain why neutral means pH equals pOH, and equals 7 only at 25 °C
- 03Find the pH of a strong acid or strong base solution from its concentration
