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 know a bit about acids and bases, including the definitions of pH and pKa, as they relate to an acid-base equilibrium. If we have a weak acid and its concentration, as well as the pH of the solution, can we calculate the Ka for the...

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...

We've got a terminal alkyne, and we're gonna do some stuff to it. What will we get? What's that Grignard reagent gonna do? Be careful!
