[@noblevenom2858]

hey dad

[@PHILLYMEDIC69]

looking back at this video after my test, I've found a much better way of explaining it. Group 1+2 elements are negligible (neutral) because they COULD have come from a strong base (OH). For strong acids, you just have to memorize them. You have to remember, when a compound is not a strong acid, it's essentially a weak acid. You can also consider cations/anions when determining acidity. Cations (positive charge) = acidic and anions (negative charge) = basic

[@sk8ingthemystery]

THANK YOU. I knew there was a better way to do this. This guy is good but he fails to point out key factors at times...

[@jonathanfong9140]

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

I kept having problems with this because there are some compounds that at first look like it will be acidic but then its basic. Great tips you came up with, will jot them down. :)

[@ClarissaRose]

Thank you!!!

[@aloocolon]

I literally was thinking the same thing as well. This comment literally brought me some sureness in what i wrote in my notes

[@meetalpatel9185]

Posted this is someone's comment and it helped them so I hope it helps you! If you write H-OH underneath the compound then cross them youll get two new compounds. If its a strong acid + strong base the salt solution is neutral. Strong acid weak base = acidic and strong base + weak acid = basic. Ex: NaClO would produce NaOH + HClO. the answer is basic because the NaOH is the strong base and wins over the weak acid. Hope that helps.

[@pbj4928]

Thank you good sir!!

[@rileyj.s.5899]

Would not work for NH4NO3. Only works for some salte

[@47jae47]

thank you so very much

[@scann563]

@@rileyj.s.5899 yes, it would still work, just slightly different. NH4 is the conjugate acid of the weak base ammonia, so its a relatively strong acid. nitrate ion is the conjugate base of nitric acid, so ammonium nitrate would be an acidic salt. NH4--->NH3 NO3--->HNO3 : HNO3>NH3 therefore acidic. The first way is confusing but correct, the second is less accurate if you think about whats physically happening, but is easier to grasp and apply.

Meetal Patel that helps a lot thanks 🙏🏼

[@vihashah5975]

Thanks to the comment section and Organic Chemistry Tutor, I now understand this thing and am ready for the test!! Lets get that A!!

[@rileyj.s.5899]

Think of it like this: 1)Anything that’s in group 1 or 2 can be cancelled out of the equation. (Neutral) 2) anything that was made from a strong acid such as cl- from HCl can be cancelled out (neutral) 3) if it has a positive charge it will make a acidic solution 4) if it has a negative charge it will bond to h+ and reduce the h+ concentration in solution and therefore make it more basic. (Mostly made from weak acid conjugate).

[@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT]

If anyone is wondering. Al+3 and all others under the Acid category are consider acids because they are attracted to electrons, thus electrophile or lewis acids. Lewis acids are electron acceptors. Remember this.

[@poojachaudhari1331]

after going through many videos I realized the best thing to do is to just memorize the table he talked about.

[@triple_gem_shining]

well if you know your strong acids and bases you dont have to memorize the table and just realize if its an CB or CA of a strong base or acid its negligible and all other cations are acidic except t-metal +1 and all anions are basic except conjugates of SA etc.

[@DanielLynn-p8o]

Without you, I wouldn't have survived Chem 2. Thank you for everything.

[@Al-Hussainy]

My way for it which is essentially similar is, you take the compound and you split it into anion and cation, then you put H with the anion and OH with the cation, like if he gave you NaCl, ----> NaOH + HCl And then you memorize strong acids and strong bases, if the two compounds you get are a strong acid and a strong base, this is neutral If the two compounds you get are a strong acid and a weak base, it's an acid, if it's a strong base and weak acid, it's a base. If both are weak it's also neutal

Just remember the *strong acids* (H2SO4, HI, HBr, HNO3, HCl, HClO4) and the *strong bases* (LiOH, NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2) and *their ions will always be neutral* The rest of the ions containing *positive charge will be acidic* (Lewis acids are electron acceptors). Similarly, the ions containing *negative charge will be bases* You can use the following *mnemonics* to memorize the strong acids and bases respectively: • SO I BRought NO CLean CLOthes. • Lets Not Keep Causing Strong Base Reactions These align to the order given above.

[@daniel.w8112]

strong acid +strong base =neutral strong acid+weak base =acidic weak acid+strong base=basic think of it like the salt type will resemble the stronger reactant and for the other part the conjugate acid of a weak base is strong acid and the conjugate acid of a strong base is weak acid and the same for acids too

[@omarsaadi5511]

Nice teacher

[@Rawteeth]

I think the video miss several points. What is the purpose of the video: to teach you how to determine if salt(compound form) is acidic, basic, or neutral based on its composition ion pt1: introduces us which ones are strong acids(memorize) and weak acids(memorize) pt2: -> understand that acid* generate conjugates bases, [base generate conjugate acids] strong acids* generates really weak conjugate bases(so weak that we consider them neutral) weak acids* generates decent strength conjugate base. note that the acid with a *denotes the compound form and conjugate acid is in ion form: ex: weak acid: HNO2 has a decent conjugate base: NO2- strong acid: HNO3 has a weak/neutral base: NO3- pt3: understanding that we can use this conclusion from pt2 to see if an ion is neutral or basic: ex: NO2- is a basic ion, NO3- is a neutral ion pt4: other ions have different properties: ex: K+ ion is neutral b/c it is alkaline pt5(key): combine all the characteristics to determine if the salt compound is acidic/basic/neutral when dissolved in water, because when it dissolves in water, it is seperated into its constituting ions, and therefore we can use the acid/basic/neutral property of the ion to determine the same properties for salt. ex: KN02=?? As I said before: pt4: K+ ion is neutral b/c it is alkaline & pt3: NO2- is a basic ion because pt2: weak acid: HNO2 has a decent conjugate base: NO2- neutral+basic=basic so KNO2 is basic.

[@usefmoh6991]

Great Video; However, I have a question---> you mentioned at --10:17-- that F- is a weak base. How so when it's from HF which is a weak acid? or is it related to the high electronegativity or instability due to tight electron cloud for Fluorine anion? I am confused :3

[@lilithasotondoshe8226]

Acids and bases are little bit confusing but there are tackling techniques my Professor gave me. Just memorize these as your strong acids: HI, HBr, HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO3, HClO4 then when you are given any acid that is not one of this list just know it is a week acid. weak acid-partially ionizes in aqueous solution. strong acids- completely dissociate or ionizes in aqueous solution.

[@randommeep]

Could you also say that because HF is a weak acid, we know its conjugate will be stronger?

[@spell-bindingdesigns7395]

Yes it’s conjugate will be a strong BASE

[@keccakec]

I'm confused at KH. Everyone I go I find that H+ is said to be an acid, yet you say it's a strong base

[@paysonkeown2960]

This isn’t H+, it’s H-, hydride. Hydride is a strong base.

[@pandustatusstudio647]

Sir how can we identify the substance is acidic or basis

[@agnessuglo1572]

It will dissociate completely

[@user-mg6fb7ix1q]

So would alcohols and sugars be considered neutral since they don't usually ionize therefore they don't affect the pH

[@spuddsalli8559]

I have a question elements having a positive charge have tendency to lose electrons and are acids and those who attract electrons gaining a negative charge is a base , is this true?

[@kinukitten]

Please explain how the HOCl is acidic?🙏🙏

[@aia3877]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think its because if you react it with water, it will act as an acid by donating its H to the water to make H3O.

[@andreascofield8782]

at 9:20 ish, isn't HClO a strong acid, so NaClO would be neutral??

[@kristeenhuynh4191]

No, I think you're getting it confused with HCl. HCl is a strong acid, HClO is a weak acid. Since it's a weak acid, NaClO is a basic solution.

[@MrsCash]

The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base.. and vice versa (because Ka x Kb = Kw, a constant). HClO4 is a strong acid... (Note: some sources also consider HClO3 to be a strong acid)... so its conjugate base, ClO4-, would have negligible strength.. thus a solution of NaClO4 (which fully ionizes into Na+ and ClO4-) would be neutral. However, HClO is a weak acid, thus its conjugate base, ClO-, would also have relatively weak strength. So NaClO (which fully ionizes into Na+ and ClO-) would be slightly basic.

HSO4- is the conjugate base of the strong acid H2SO4 (sulfuric acid). However...H2SO4 is polyprotic, meaning HSO4- is, despite being a conjugate base, a weak acid. When finding the pH of a salt whose anion is hydrogen sulfate, treat it as a weak acid.

Hi NH4Cl . NH4 is a weak acid so the solution is acidic LiC2H3O2 . C2H3O2 is a weak acid so the solution is basic Can you please explain what the difference is Thank you

[@eddysantos2845]

sorry buddy ):

[@kristeenhuynh4191]

I think it has to do with their charges. NH4 has a positive charge, and it's not one of the strong acids, so it must be acidic. C2H3O2 has a negative charge and it's not a strong acid either, so it must be basic. Another way to remember this would be to think of the Bronsted-Lowey definitions of an acid and base. A Bronsted-Lowey acid donates proton H+ while a Bronsted-Lowey base accepts proton H+. So if it has a positive charge, it is willing to give away a proton H+ which makes it acidic. If it has a negative charge it will accept the proton H+ which makes it basic. I hope this helps! Also, thank you for asking the question! I didn't realize that until you brought it up, so I was trying to figure out the answer myself. This helped me understand this topic even more. Thanks!
