#2.1.4a
the formulae of the common acids (HCl, H2SO4, HNO3 and CH3COOH) and the common alkalis (NaOH, KOH and NH3) and explanation that acids release H+ ions in aqueous solution and alkalis release OH– ions in aqueous solution
#2.1.4b
qualitative explanation of strong and weak acids in terms of relative dissociations
#2.1.4c
neutralisation as the reaction of:
(i) H+ and OH– to form H2O
(ii) acids with bases, including carbonates, metal oxides and alkalis (water-soluble bases), to form salts, including full equations
#2.1.4d
the techniques and procedures used when preparing a standard solution of required concentration and carrying out acid–base titrations
PAG2
#2.1.4e
structured and non-structured titration calculations, based on experimental results of familiar and non-familiar acids and bases.
