Episode description
In this episode we simplify:
- What is the acid dissociation constant, Ka
- Calculating pH from the H+ concentration
- Calculating the H+ concentration from pH
- Calculate acid concentration [HA] for a weak acid
- Calculate the acid dissociation constant, Ka
It's really not as difficult as it seems. Listen in and get chemistry confident.
Suggested listening: Also listen to episode 9 which introduces the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid and defines how to calculate pH.
