# SC6: Solutions, Acids, and Bases

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the properties that describe solutions and the nature of acids and bases.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SC6.a**: Develop a model to illustrate the process of dissolving in terms of solvation versus dissociation.
- **SC6.b**: Plan and carry out an investigation to evaluate the factors that affect the rate at which a solute dissolves in a specific solvent.
- **SC6.c**: Use mathematics and computational thinking to evaluate commercial products in terms of their concentrations (i.e., molarity and percent by mass).
- **SC6.d**: Communicate scientific and technical information on how to prepare and properly label solutions of specified molar concentration.
- **SC6.e**: Develop and use a model to explain the effects of a solute on boiling point and freezing point.
- **SC6.f**: Use mathematics and computational thinking to compare, contrast, and evaluate the nature of acids and bases in terms of percent dissociation, hydronium ion concentration, and pH.
- **SC6.g**: Ask questions to evaluate merits and limitations of the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry models of acid and bases.
- **SC6.h**: Plan and carry out an investigation to explore acid-base neutralization.
