How these cards work

Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.

Your card schedule is kept in this browser, on this device, unless you sign in, just like the revision checklist. For Anki, the same cards are available as free Anki decks, one per unit.

• Brønsted–Lowry acidDEFINE
• Brønsted–Lowry baseDEFINE
• Conjugate acid–base pairDEFINE
• AmphotericDEFINE
• Strong acidDEFINE
• Weak acidDEFINE
• pHDEFINE
• BasicityDEFINE
• Tribasic acidDEFINE
• A strong acid is a concentrated one, so watering hydrochloric acid down turns it into a weak acidSPOT THE ERROR
• Brønsted–Lowry acids and bases, pH and strong acids: check questionCHECK
• Ionic product of water, KwDEFINE
• NeutralDEFINE
• Strong baseDEFINE
• Weak baseDEFINE
• Acid dissociation constant, KaDEFINE
• pKaDEFINE
• Monoprotic acidDEFINE
• pKwDEFINE
• Pure water always has a pH of 7, so water at pH 6.6 must have acid in itSPOT THE ERROR
• Weak acids, Ka and pKa; Kw and strong bases: check questionCHECK
• pH curveDEFINE
• Equivalence pointDEFINE
• Vertical sectionDEFINE
• Half-neutralisation pointDEFINE
• IndicatorDEFINE
• End pointDEFINE
• pKInDEFINE
• CalibrationDEFINE
• Every titration ends at pH 7, because that is where the acid and the alkali have cancelled each other outSPOT THE ERROR
• Titration curves and choosing an indicator: check questionCHECK
• BufferDEFINE
• Acidic bufferDEFINE
• Basic bufferDEFINE
• Common ion effectDEFINE
• Henderson–Hasselbalch equationDEFINE
• Buffer rangeDEFINE
• SolubilityDEFINE
• Solubility product, KspDEFINE
• A buffer is a neutral solution that keeps the pH at 7 whatever is added to itSPOT THE ERROR
• Buffer solutions and buffer calculations: check questionCHECK
