I'm in Gen Chem 2 as a Bio major and chemistry is so intimidating for me because of the calculations, but you helped a lot. My text book uses the pH=pKa + log(base)/(acid) equation but your version helped a lot better. It was easier for me to grasp - I practiced several problems and got the right answer every time. Exam tomorrow & I'm more confident. THANKS!

Really liked your lessons, thank you very much! A few things that I would like to notice is that cm^3 is used mostly for solids (metals, soil etc); for liquids ml is mostly used - which is the same size. Another thing is that the 45ml volume is not certain that it will be the final volume of the two mixed solutions but certainly the final volume is the final volume so this could not be stated by using the moles for a constant not known exactly volume. I am trying to learn about buffer solutions and your videos are very useful! Thank you again!

I like the Holiday to KaCidoverSalt bit - very good, can I say though that you are harbouring a misconception regarding [H+] and [A-] on your introductory 'slide'? They are in EQUAL concentration until EXTRA "A-" is ADDED. It's not possible for them to be in different concentrations just as a result of dissolving an acid regardless of how strong or weak it is because in order to form H+, there must have also been A- formed!!!
@MaChemGuy8 жыл бұрын
+Dischordian I cover why they are different in my introduction to buffer solutions video. The assumption is that students watch this introductory video first and so know where the different concentrations of [H+] and [A-] come from as shown at the start of the calcs 1 video

Is there a video for a question similar to 2015 F325 where it asked the PH of the new buffer on addition of Magnesium? I fail to understand why 0.25 moles of Mg added would mean the conc. of acid to decrease by 0.5. Thanks, loved your videos.
@TheAbs238 жыл бұрын
because if you worked out the equation it was for every Mg there was two molecules of acid. Because mg was 2+ and the acid was 1-, so o.25 x 2=0.50

@gregorypeters11788 жыл бұрын
+Khal Drogo You work out the moles and concentration of Magnesium which is 0.25 ergo 0.5 moles of acid is used. The part I don't get is why this means the concentration is reduced by 0.5. Perhaps hard to understand my question as I don't understand it myself..
@TheAbs238 жыл бұрын
i think i get what you're saying, i could be wrong here but you have 1 moldm-3 of the acid, and as you said 0.5 moles of the acid is USED. Therefore 0.5 moles of the acid has been turned into the conjugate base. Put it this way you've got 1 litre of water someone takes half and adds it to a litre of squash. So you're left with half a litre of water and 1.5 litres of squash

Surely the [A-] is not a salt, it's just the negative ion from the dissociation of salts or original acid? The salt would surely be the combination of some kind of metal ion and the conjugate base of the dissociated acid? Confused me a bit. Hate to sound like a nerdy twat criticising.
