Does the reaction forming SO4(-) also have a spectator ion like the former reaction which produced CH3COO(-) and had Na(+) as the spectator ion??? Thank you

[WongeneKIM]

Good lecture!!!!

[yulikobe]

You are awesome!!!!

Thank you..

[nilrama1]

thank you very much!! you are a life saver!!! you really clarify every thing, i never had understood buffer solution. i will spread your words to my friends. thanks again.

pH=-log[H+]

I've never see the equation with hydronium before. pOH= -log[OH-]

He writes hydroxide as HO- in an earlier video.

P.S. A trick my teacher said to remmber this is to think of power of hydrogen and power of hydroxide when you think about pH and pOH.

@deltaforce when the h2so4 deprotonates the ch3coo will attract the proton let go by the h2so4. in effect sponging it up.

[deltaforce]

does all weak acids sponge up

[deltaforce]

why does the ch3coo sponge up
