This course is part of Fundamentos de Química.
This comprehensive chemistry course focuses on salts as compounds that modify environmental acidity. Using the Bronsted-Lowry theory, students will learn to calculate concentrations of different species in solution with proper justification of approximations, with special emphasis on pH calculation. The course describes the nature and applications of buffer solutions, citing representative examples of their importance in natural environments. Students will study acid-base equilibria, focusing on calculating the pH of these solutions and understanding how they change when limited amounts of strong acids or bases are added. Designed for those with foundational chemistry knowledge, this course builds practical skills in understanding chemical reactions and equilibria that have wide-ranging applications in scientific contexts.
