Chapter 15: Acids and Bases

Acids and bases are two of the more important classes of substances in Chemistry. In Chapter 15, we will learn what acids and bases are, their effect upon aqueous solutions, and the manner in which they react. The distinctions between strong and weak acids and bases will be described. And we will learn how titrations can be used to determine the concentrations of acidic and basic solutions.
