This 15-page Acid-Base Chemistry Master Guide is a high-impact resource designed to help you navigate one of the most challenging topics in general chemistry. Whether you are prepping for a midterm or a standardized exam, this guide distills complex theory into actionable problem-solving strategies.
 
What’s Inside?
Comprehensive Key Notes: A deep dive into Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions. It covers the pHscale, pOH, and the relationship between Kw​, Ka​, and Kb​.
The Formula Vault: Every essential equation at your fingertips
Step-by-Step Examples: Fully worked-out problems for strong acid / base dissociations, weak acid equilibrium (ICE tables), and complex buffer calculations.
Titration Strategy: A visual and mathematical breakdown of titration curves, identifying the equivalence point versus the half-equivalence point.
 
Mastering the Test
Pitfall Alerts: We highlight common mistakes, like forgetting to check the 5% rule for approximations, or misidentifying amphiprotic species.
"Shortcut" Strategies
Buffer Logic: Strategies to determine which conjugate pair is best for a specific target pH
