Lesson Plan

School : ....
Subject : Chemistry
Grade/Semester : XI/2
Topic/Subtopic : Acid and Base / Acid-Base theory
Time Allocation :15 minutes
Standard of Competence : 4. Understanding the properties of acid and base
solution, measurement method, and its application.
Basic of Competence : 4.1.Describing the acid base theory by determining
the properties of solution and calculating the pH
solution.
Indicator :
 Explaining acid and base definition based on Arrhenius

I. Teaching Learning Objective

At the end of the class, students are able to
1. Explain the Arrhenius acid definitions.
2. Give examples of acid according to Arrhenius acid definitions.
3. Explain the Arrhenius base definitions.
4. Give examples of base according to Arrhenius base definitions.

II. Teaching Learning Material

Arrhenius definition of Acid and Base
Svante Arrhenius, 1884, defined acid and base based on ionization reaction.
Arrhenius Acid Definition
 An acid is a substance that ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ion,
H+ as the positive ion.
Acid à H+(aq) + Anion

or

HA (aq) à H+(aq) + A-(aq)

  An acid solution is a solution with a significant concentration of H+
ions.
Example:
 HCl(aq)  H+(aq)+ Cl-(aq)
 H2SO4(aq)  2 H+(aq) + SO42-(aq)

Arrhenius Base Definitions

 A base is substance that ionizes in water to produce hydroxide ion,

OH- as the negative ion.

Base à cation + OH-(aq)

or

MOH(aq) à M+(aq) + OH-(aq)

 A base solution is a solution with a significant concentration of OH-

ions.
Example :

 NaOH(aq)  Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)

 Ba(OH)2(aq)  Ba2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
