Acids & Bases are considered one of the killer topics for Sec 3 syllabus. Many students feel that it is very “content-heavy” and gave up learning the essential concepts. This is worrying, because many chemistry concepts in this topic are related to other Sec 4 Application topics. In fact, many Sec 4 students fear questions related to Acids & Bases in their GCE ‘O’ Levels Chemistry Examinations.

In this Acids & Bases Mastery Workshop, students will learn:
- How to define the terms ‘Acids’ & ‘Alkalis’ in terms of the ions they produce
- How water play an important role in Acidity & Alkalinity
- How to test hydrogen ion (H+) concentration and hence relative acidity
- The Basicity of Acids & Alkalis and how they affect chemical reactions
- How to differentiate Strong & Weak acids/alkalis in terms of the extent of ionisation
- Strategies to remember the Physical & Chemical Properties of Acids & Alkalis
- Common uses of Acids & Alkalis in everyday life
- Importance of controlling the pH in soils & how excess acidity can be treateD
- 4 Steps to classify Types of Oxides as Acidic, Basic, Amphoteric or Neutral
- All the chemical properties you need to know for Types of Oxides

“This programme has benefited me in many ways. Normally, school teachers do not cover 100% of a topic so its difficult when it comes to answering questions. However, this programme cover the remaining percent which the teachers have not covered plus the usual stuff, in an in-depth comprehensive manner. Moreover, Mr Sean Chua is an extremely jovial person and a nice person to teach us Chemistry. Thank you very much”

“This workshop has helped me to strengthen my chemistry basics (essential concepts). It was enjoyable, albeit intensive. Topics were explained in great detail. The Pre- and Post-Tests has helped me to fully understand how well I have grasped the topic. I feel more confident of my Chemistry Mastery after attending this workshop.”
Cheryl Tan, Cedar Girls School, Sec 4 2010
“Sean has made understanding challenging Chemistry concepts a lot more easier. He has inter-linked topics such as Acids & Bases to the real world, making me find it easier to comprehend the topic, through examples of coffee pH & CO2 gas produced in Coca-Cola fizzy sweets. His lessons are engaging and lively; which makes learning a fun task. He has taught important life lessons, which i learned and it senses as an inspiration”

“More interesting than normal “study camps”. Very high energy camp with lots of interactions among “classmates” and trainer.”
