Learn about acid-base equilibria and calculations in this Chem1 Virtual e-Textbook.

Read a passage and view examples about acid-base titration curves to prepare for the MCATs.

In this experiment, you will explore the behavior of the monoprotic acid (acetic acid) and the polyprotic acid (phosphoric acid). By titrating, you will examine the acid and conjugate base species present across the pH scale and the...

Students learn how buffer systems in the body - the respiratory and the renal - affect the blood pH.

Questions related to the electronic structure and atomic chemical behavior of acid and bases.

An introduction, aimed at upper elementary- and middle-school learners, to acid rain. [Click back to home to access the site in Spanish.]

Acting as an overview from the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site explores topics related to the various types of acids and bases. The topics covered include binary hydrogen compounds, hydroxy compounds, oxygen compounds, and...

Acting as an overview from the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site explores a variety of organic acids including acetic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and more.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students investigate the different chemical and physical properties of acids and bases.

What is a catalyst? This Khan Academy resource includes examples of enzymes, acid-base catalysis, and heterogeneous (or surface) catalysis.

The bottom of this page gives an excellent idea of what Lewis acids and bases are. Inculdes graphics to aid in understanding.

Students will use citric acid and sodium carbonate solutions to see that adding a base to an acidic solution makes the solution less acidic. Students will then use a base to help them identify which of two acidic solutions is more...

This site from the Department of Chemistry at the Washington University is an excellent site on how buffers are used in the human body and how they react to exercise.

In the chemical economy, acids actively give away their protons while bases actively collect them, but some more aggressively than others. George Zaidan and Charles Morton use the currency of subatomic particles to explain this unseen...

This article introduces how to classify acids and bases as polyprotic, as well as the properties of polyprotic acids and bases.

This site contains a simple procedure for observing an acid-base neutralization reaction (baking soda and vinegar), in which the product, carbon dioxide, causes a zipped bag to explode.

Resource discusses acids and bases, pH scale, and how harmful they are.

Discussion of water as a solvent. Includes material on hydrogen bonds, hydration, hydrophobic effect, acids, basses, and pH.

Use this site to explore the experimentation process of "Soil buffering."

This general tutorial begins with an explanation of the polarity of the water molecule and the effects this polarity has on the properties of water. Goes on to introduce organic molecules and has a thourough tutorial on the third page.

Investigate why water properties make it unique and good at supporting life in this article. Learn about the life-sustaining properties of water that are caused by the hydrogen bonds that it forms.

Acting as an overview from the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site explores Lewis acids and bases with specific attention directed toward protons and electron-pairs. Other topics covered include proton-transfer reactions...

Acting as an overview from the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site explores types of acids and bases with specific attention given to oxygen compounds. Subtopics covered include amphoteric oxides and hydroxides and acid...

This is an activity that deals with acid rain. "This experiment will illustrate how to measure the approximate pH of chemicals in water using a pH indicator." It is easy to follow the comprehensive set of directions.
