Introducing acids and bases

An essential foundational chemistry course. Develops understanding and drills recall of the formulae and naming rules of common acids and bases (metal oxides, hydroxides and carbonates), with a focus on generic principles. Develops a basic understanding of the pH scale and how pH indicators are used. Introduces laboratory equipment and common gas tests. Guides practical performance, and reporting, of reactions between common acids and metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates, with a focus on general principles and the balancing of chemical equations.
