    (F) calculate the dilutions of solutions using molarity.

  (12) Science concepts. The student understands and applies various rules regarding acids and bases. The student is expected to:

    (A) name and write the chemical formulas for acids and bases using IUPAC nomenclature rules;

    (B) define acids and bases and distinguish between Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions;

    (C) differentiate between strong and weak acids and bases;

    (D) predict products in acid-base reactions that form water; and

    (E) define pH and calculate the pH of a solution using the hydrogen ion concentration.

  (13) Science concepts. The student understands the energy changes that occur in chemical reactions. The student is expected to:

    (A) explain everyday examples that illustrate the four laws of thermodynamics;

    (B) investigate the process of heat transfer using calorimetry;

    (C) classify processes as exothermic or endothermic and represent energy changes that occur in chemical reactions using thermochemical equations or graphical analysis; and

    (D) perform calculations involving heat, mass, temperature change, and specific heat.

  (14) Science concepts. The student understands the basic processes of nuclear chemistry. The student is expected to:

    (A) describe the characteristics of alpha, beta, and gamma radioactive decay processes in terms of balanced nuclear equations;

    (B) compare fission and fusion reactions; and

    (C) give examples of applications of nuclear phenomena such as nuclear stability, radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging, solar cells, and nuclear power.
