Strong Acids, Weak Acids and pH
In this episode we:
- define acids (and bases)
- discuss why acids are SO reactive
- define and compare weak acids and strong acids (and talk about the common mistake made)
- talk about why pH is useful, and define how to calculate it
Suggested listening: Also listen to episode 10 which discusses the assumptions used when making calculations involving weak acids, and introduces the acid dissociation constant.
