Acids and Bases: Equilibrium and Redox Reactions

This lecture covers the equilibrium of acids and bases, including the strength of different types of acids and bases, pH calculations, and the concept of buffer solutions. It also delves into redox reactions, oxidation numbers, and the relationship between oxidation and reduction. The instructor explains the principles behind acid-base reactions, the behavior of different molecules in solution, and how to determine the relative strengths of acids and bases. Additionally, the lecture explores the role of redox reactions in batteries, accumulators, and other electrochemical systems, providing examples and formulas to understand these processes.
