Solution reactions are sometimes difficult to tell immediately what reactions will occur when two solutions are mixed
Solving Stoichiometry Problems for Reactions in Solution:

****An acid ****is a substance that produces H+ ions when dissolved in water, and a base is a substance that produces OH- ions
The hydroxide ion is such a strong base that for purposes of stoichiometric calculations it can be assumed to react completely with any weak acid that will be encountered
Steps to Performing Calculations for Acid-Base Reactions
Volumetric analysis: A technique for determining the amount of a certain substance by doing a titration
Titration: Involves delivery of a measured volume of a solution of known concentration into a solution containing the substance being analyzed
The endpoint and stoichiometric point should coincide
Write down the components and focus on the chemistry of each one
When a strong electrolyte is resent, write it as separated ions
