Howdy neighbor! Yes... very true. I guess I ran out of time to highlight this story, but it's yet another extension of even stronger bases that have important uses outside of aqueous systems. Thanks for pointing this out.
@@shortchemistry7927 All the term "strong acid" really means is "the pKa of this acid is lower than the pKa of whatever solvent it's in when said solvent is protonated". Acetic acid is a strong acid if NEt3 is used as the solvent... and NEt3 is a strong base if AcOH is the solvent. This is one of many reasons why I like pKa tables so much: www2.chemistry.msu.edu/courses/cem850/FS17_HUANG/pKa_of_Organic_and_Inorganic_Compounds.pdf

Great video! There are a lot of acid misconceptions out there!
Hey Alan, you're crazy brother sent me over...nice content. I enjoy science, enjoyed you bro alt self bit you did. Good job!
I am the glasses guy, except I am even more misinformed. lol nice video
There's lots of stronger bases than hydrides and hydroxides... what about BuLi, NaNH2, NaOtBu, etc?
