  • Nice buffers Anderson!

  • Have to remember the name! I keep calling it the Anderson and Hasselhoff!

  • thanks for the conceptual idea of hendersen hasselbalch but can you teach us ICE tables???

  • I have done HH a dozen times never even though it was derrived from the original equation

    tks

  • as always thank you kindly for your great instructions. i was wondering, are you left handed? thanx

  • ur awesome!!!!!!!!!

  • I love you Sal

  • Did you distribute wrong?

    for calculating the hendersen-hasselbalch eq.-

    p(K * [HA]/[A-]) = pK k * [HA]/[A-] NOT pK - log [HA]/[A]

    you can only distribute if the things inside parenthesis are added or subtracted:

    6(3+2) = 6*3 + 6*2 = 18 + 12 = 30 and 6(3+2) = 6 * 5 = 30 so it checks out

    you did 6(3*2) = 6*3 + 6*2 = 30 but 6*6 = 36. Not Equal!!

    so i am confused. i think i explained why well enough, would someone clarify for me?

  • @savvy22dew Nearest I can tell, you have mistake the "p" in this equation as a regular variable. It is actually the short hand for -log(). Thus p(Ka) = -log(Ka) and p(HA/A) = - log(HA/A). Log functions have a few unique properties, one of which is that log(X*Y) = Log(X) + Log(Y), which explains why

    p(K * [HA]/[A-]) = pK - log [HA]/[A].

    Sal has a proof of this concept on his website in the algebra section if you are interested in why this is so. Hoped that helped!

  • Did it get cut off at the end...?

  • @rinwhr He makes a comment in a previous video that he makes some wrong assumptions in the last 3-4 min. So he made this video that just cut the last few minutes off.

  • I LOVE YOU!!! you are a great teacher, thank you thank you thankkk youu!

  • Comment removed

  • Is this kinna old school paint or what?

  • Nooooooooooooooo~~ It's too late.

    I took the exam on this on the previous Monday...And I've done it wrong T_T.

    But anyway, Thanks Sal

  • For the dissociation equation of the conjugate base of the weak acid(A‾), wouldn't it be more appropriate to write it like this: A‾(aq)+H2O(l)↔AH(aq)+OH‾(aq) in order to balance the equation?

  • Remake? No, it's the same video.

  • @norwayte He cut off the end since he said that volume doesn't matter.

  • hmm ive seen this before. still good tho

  • Thank You!

  • Re-making your video?

  • Thank you Sal :)

  • Thanks for the great videos
