  • just a small error. fluorine is F not Fl. but overall it was a very informative video. great job like always!

  • thanks for pointing that out. I added an annotation.

  • Could of used an ICE table... Simplifies EVERYTHING..

    

  • Wooow, I can't believe I actually understand this -- finally!! I don't think my chem lecturer could have made it any more complicated... Khan Academy makes life so much easier.

  • How do you exactly find the KaHF that he did at 6:30? Does he explain this in any of the videos?

  • @imalazykid thanks i realized later on :D

  • @shahruk10 That's because Sal has his pKa value wrong. pKa of HF is 3.15.

  • how is a pH of 1.4 a weak acid ?? :S

  • you have a strange accent...lol completellyyyy

  • I got confused as hell, when you had the scientific notation, and had the x^2 stuff. You used an "x" in the scientific notation, I thought it was a variable, but it just meant multiply.

  • Can't you just say that [H⁺]=[F⁻], and [H⁺][F⁻]=7*10⁻⁴*1.5 and thus [H⁺]=sqrt(7*10⁻⁴*1.5)=0.0324M and therefore the pH is -log(0.0324)=1.49 ? Or is that wrong since there may exist other H⁺ in the solution that came from water molecules colliding, rather than from the HF?

  • its not dissassociate!! its dissociate:D

    otherwise its amazing!
