In a neutralization reaction (or acid-base reaction) a proton is transferred from the Brinsted--Lowry acid to the Brinsted--Lowry base. Water is amphoteric and so it can serve as either an acid or a base in a neutralization reaction. ...

Last week, Hank talked about how stuff mixes together in solutions. Today, and for the next few weeks, he will talk about the actual reactions happening in those solutions - atoms reorganizing themselves to create whole new substances in...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how acid-base chemistry can be understood in terms of equilibrium. Water is present in all acid-base chemistry and is amphoteric in nature. The Ka and Kb values can be used to determine the strength...

We take a deep dive to understand how chemistry works at a fundamental level. All chemistry is about electrons. They are the primary drivers responsible for an atom’s behavior in chemical reactions, or more precisely the way...

We've all heard the terms acid and base. What do these mean? Don't just tell me about pH, silly. What structural detail makes a molecule an acid or a base? You don't know? Well, you'd better watch this then. You don't want to be...

In this video, we discuss Calculate Concentrations in a Buffer (Derivation)

The Acid-DIssociation Constant (Ka) and pKa

Learn everything about Conjugate Acids and Bases. We explain this with the real world example of vinegar. At Fuse School, teachers and animators come together to make fun & easy-to-understand videos in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths...

Buffers: ICE Problem With Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

For this one we will need to understand the basics about Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reactions, and we also should be able to gauge the stability of various potential conjugate bases.

Acids! Bases! Conjugate acids! Conjugate bases! We definitely have to be able to label such things, and we should also know how to state which direction in an acid-base equilibrium is preferred. To do this we should know how to tell...

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

It explains the chemical properties of amines and talks about chemical reactions of amines with various compounds.

Organic Chemistry Practice Exam 10

Proof that pH=pKa when conjugate acid and base concentrations are equal; proof that conjugate acid and base concentrations are equal when pH=pKa

Calculation of pH with known species concentration and pKa

In this video, we discuss Calculate Concentrations in a Buffer (Example Problem)

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation using mass balance equation for system of two equations with two unknowns

It gives the definition for acids, bases and salts. It explains the litmus paper test to identify acids and bases. It discusses Arhenius concept of acids and bases.

An overview of alkyne synthesis via double dehydrohalogenation.

It explains the ionisation of acids and bases. It explains the term conjugate acids and bases. It derives the expression to calculate ionic product of water.
