Unit 4 - Solutions and Solubility (18 Hours)
Unit Description:
- In this Unit, you will analyze the origins and effects of water pollution, and a variety of economic, social, and environmental issues related to drinking water; investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions, and solve related problems; demonstrate an understanding of qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions.
- E1. analyse the origins and effects of water pollution, and a variety of economic, social, and environmental issues related to drinking water;
- E2. investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions, and solve related problems;
- E3. demonstrate an understanding of qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions.
Unit Goals:
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- describe many different ways to use water more wisely
- examine some of the different types of reactions that can occur in solution, and see how these reactions can be used to produce useful consumer products
- see how differences in solubility can be used to remove undesirable substances from solutions
- describe properties of acids and bases and theories that help to explain these properties.
