Conjugate Acids and Bases
This video introduces students to the concept of Conjugate Acids and Bases. The important point for students to grasp, and Sal does a nice job illustrating this point, is that for every conjugate acid/base pair, the weaker the acid, the stronger its base will be.

Acids and Bases
Acquaint your chemistry class with acids and bases by showing this bold and bright PowerPoint. Viewers learn about the characteristics of acids and bases and stop at intervals to answer several questions about what they are learning. Use this on the day that you introduce this topic, and follow it with laboratory exercises in which young chemists observe some of these characteristics up close.

pH of a Weak Acid
In the previous video, Sal outlined what happens when a strong acid is put into reaction with another compound. In this presentation, he describes what happens when a weak acid is introduced. Sal explains why Hydrofluoric acid is much weaker than Hydrochloric acid, and shows how the molecules disassociate themselves from the weak acid much more rapidly than they do in a strong acid during a chemical reaction.

Weak Acid Titration
The previous video illustrated what happened when a strong acid is added to water. This presentation illustrates what happens when a weak acid is added. On the left axis, pH levels are measured. The horizontal axis represents two liters of water.

Strong Acid Titration
Strong Acid Titration is the focus of this chemistry video. Sal sets us up a graph. On the left axis, pH levels are measured. The horizontal axis represents two liters of water. The strong acid Hydroxide is added to the water. This video shows what happens to the pH levels, and how the equivalence point is determined based on how much hydroxide is added.

Study Jams! Acids and Bases
This video about pH will not leave a sour taste in your mouth! Through clear explanations and a little humor, upcoming chemists will learn the definitions and properties of acids and bases, as well as how pH is measured. This would make an engaging review assignment during a unit on the properties of matter.

Using Environmental Models to Determine the Effect of Acid Rain on an Ecosystem
Demonstrate to your middle school science learners how chalk breaks down in a weak acid. Discuss what affects acidic rain might have on ecosystems. Lab groups then choose one of two questions: "How does acid precipitation affect an aquatic ecosystem?

Is That Legal? A Case of Acid Rain
Develop an environmental case study! Elementary learners discover how a case study is used as an analysis tool. The goal of this activity is to show pupils how techniques of persuasion (including background, supporting evidence, storytelling, and call to action) are used to develop an argument for or against a topic.

Comparing the Amount of Acid in Different Solutions
Upcoming chemists use chemical reactions to determine relative pH in two different acids. This is a terrific lesson for middle schoolers that can stand alone as a practice in precision and lab skills, or as part of the unit on chemical change.

Color Changes with Acids and Bases
Getting back to the beginning of the unit, learners use reactions with red cabbage juice to determine if solutions are acidic, neutral, or basic. This is a straightforward and classic investigation, but what you will appreciate is the detail of procedures provide for both teachers and young scholars.

Chapter 15 Review, Section 2: Acid-Base Titration and pH
Keep it simple with this chemistry assignment. Learners examine an acid-base titration graph and answer four questions about the data. Then they will balance neutralization equations and calculate molarity for several specific solutions. Give this to your class as homework or a quick review before a quiz on acid-base titration.

Simulated acid rain, a dilute sulfuric acid solution, needs to be prepared for this demonstration. After a condensed lecture on acid rain, you will apply the solution to a sample of granite and a sample of limestone. Your young scientists will create a data table in which to record the pH of the acid rain both before and after passing through the stone samples.

The Acid Test
Students prepare a test solution whose color changes when an acid or a base is added. They determine whether various household substances are acids or bases and look for patterns in the results. Students determine how their test solution compares to commerical acid-bases testers; and search for other test solutions.

Carboxlic Acid Tautomeriztion
Sal defines the similarity of the carbonyl group on aldehyde to the carboxylic acid. Next, he clarifies the presence of the extra OH group instead of the carbon chain or hydrogen. He then recaps the definitions and behaviors of acids.

Half Equivalence Point
Sal reviews exactly what an "Equivalence Point" is, and what it means. He constructs two graphs; one uses a stronger acid than the other, and demonstrates how to determine the "Half-Equivalence Point," which is the point where the acid and the base present in the solution are exactly equal to each other.
