(10) Science concepts. The student understands and can apply the factors that influence the behavior of solutions. The student is expected to:
- (A) describe the unique role of water in solutions in terms of polarity ;
- (B) apply the general rules regarding solubility through investigations with aqueous solutions;
- (C) calculate the concentration of solutions in units of molarity;
- (D) calculate the dilutions of solutions using molarity ;
- (E) distinguish among types of solutions such as electrolytes and nonelectrolytes ; unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions ; and strong and weak acids and bases ;
- (F) investigate factors that influence solid and gas solubilities and rates of dissolution such as temperature, agitation, and surface area;
- (G) define acids and bases and distinguish between Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions and predict products in acid-base reactions that form water; and
- (H) define pH and calculate the pH of a solution using the hydrogen ion concentration.
