  • In this episode, Hank goes over Reversible Reactions, the water dissociation constant, what pH and pOH actually mean, Acids, Bases, and Neutral Substances as well as the not-so-terrifying Logarithms, strong acids, weak acids, and how to calculate pH and pOH. Oh, and litmus paper!

    "p" is an old mathematical symbol for "-log of" hence:
    pH = -log[H^+]
    pOH = neglog[OH^-]
    pKa = -log[Ka]
    pKb = -log[Kb]
    Well, that's what my chemistry professor, Dr, J. Rogers, told me.

I was just impressed that there happened to be a model for giving the information of the H+ and OH- concentrations that aligned with using that fact so perfectly. I thought it was really neat that to represent this Chemistry information, they used this trick to make it so simple. Thanks for explaining though (I've always been bad at logarithms anyway).

    @rex17ly62 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A common misconception is that a pH of 7 means a solution is neutral. This is just wrong, what makes a solution neutral is whether [H3O+] = [OH-].
    For example, Kc of water at a temperature of 25 degrees is 10^-14, in which case [H3O+] would be 10^-7 and the pH would be 7.
    But in a temperature of 50 degrees Kc increases to 5.476x10^-14, and [H3O+] would be ~6.63.
    However, since [H3O+] = [OH-], it doesn't matter it is neutral.

  • @8ytan

    You neglected to mention, Hank, that kW is 1.0E-14 only at 25 degrees Celsius. At different temperatures, the value of kW is different and the pH of pure, neutral water also changes. I think (?) that this also affects the equation pH + pOH = 14 - I'm not 100% sure whether it does but I was always taught to be careful when finding pH from pOH using this method, instead we were taught to use a rearranged form of the kW equation.

    I thought the "p" came from the mathematical p, which stands for -(log). My chem teacher likes to tell us that to find pH or pOH from [H] or [OH] we have to "p on the concentration" -_-
    I will never, ever be able to look at pH scales without hearing him crow, "What do you do? You p on it!"

    Yes. the pH lets you know how Acidic/Basic your product is. The more balanced the formula the more gentle it is on your skin/hair and is friendlier for daily use.

    What?! lol. The numbers that you got from your example were 3.5 (pH) and 10.5 (pOH), which their sum is also 14. Late night video, eh!

      +Yousef Al-A'ssaf Did you watch the whole video? There is a reason for this. It is why we define a neutral ph 7.

    Lower case p is used to represent a negative log of the hydronium ion concentration. The pH scale is logarithmic.

    here in brazil the p means potential, the potential of donating Hidrogen atoms.

    0:43 It's just meant to signify "the power of"?
    I believe that's how my Chemistry teacher explained it to me. Of course, I'm not sure how much anyone would want to trust his explanation, considering I needed to go online to learn the material. I don't even know why I posted this comment; I'm quite sure Mr. Green knows his material far better than my Chemistry teacher.
    *EDIT:* He almost immediately says this is a possibility. I probably should have waited until the end to comment.

    The opposite logarithm of the concentration of the H+ ion and OH- ion are inversely proportional, and this proportion makes the both of them add up to 15

    Chem regents tomorrow, and even though I know we don't need to know too much about this stuff in depth, I started freaking out. I know I can count on CrashCourse to relieve my sudden, absurd lack of knowledge :)
