Lesson 3

Module 8—Acid-Base Equilibrium

Reflect and Connect

 

At the beginning of this lesson you were asked whether the proposed reaction between nitric acid in acid deposition would be neutralized by carbonate ions present in soil.

 

Use your understanding of predicting acid-base reactions and equilibrium position to determine whether nitric acid and the other acids responsible for acid deposition (nitrous, sulfuric, and sulfurous acids) would also be neutralized by carbonate ions present in soil.

 

Save your work in your course folder.

 

In Lesson 1 you started summaries of your previous learning about acids and bases. Update your summaries to include concepts you learned in this lesson. You may wish to start a new summary for the new skill you learned in this lesson—predicting acid-base reactions. Save a copy of your updated summaries in your course folder. You may be asked to submit a copy to your teacher for feedback.
