Students will understand that pH and pOH measure the acidity and basicity of solutions. pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺), with values below 7 being acidic and above 7 being basic. pOH measures the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), with values below 7 being basic and above 7 being acidic. At 25°C, the sum of pH and pOH is always 14. This concept helps students relate acidity and basicity to ion concentration in aqueous solutions.

Acid-base titration is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration (molarity) of an unknown acid or base solution. By gradually adding a solution of known molarity (the titrant) to the unknown solution, the reaction reaches the equivalence point, where moles of acid equal moles of base. Indicators or pH meters are used to detect this point. This method is essential in analytical chemistry for precise concentration measurements.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, acids and bases are essential chemical concepts with wide-ranging applications. Acids release hydrogen ions (H⁺), while bases release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in solutions. Understanding pH and pOH helps measure their strengths, and titration enables precise determination of their molarity. Mastering these principles is crucial for analyzing chemical reactions, solving real-world problems, and advancing in fields like medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.
