The work investigating acids and bases is built upon the Acid-Base Solutions simulation develop by PhET Interactive Simulations.
Learning Objectives
Students should be able to:
- Explain how the relative strength of an acid depends on the extent to which it ionizes in water.
- Explain how both acid strength and acid concentration contribute to the pH of a solution.
- Draw or interpret particulate level representations of strong/weak acids in water at various concentrations.

Further information about this simulation/assignment
This assignment and screencast are in the early phase of development. Given the need for research-based teaching materials in light of COVID-19, we have made these materials available during their development and testing.
