Acids and Bases: Equilibrium and pH Calculation

This lecture covers the fundamentals of acids and bases, including acid-base balance, conjugate acid-base couples, and equilibrium constants. It explains the concept of pH, the autoprotolysis of water, and the relationship between acid strength and conjugate base. The lecture also delves into the calculation of pH for strong and weak acids, emphasizing the importance of electro neutrality. Additionally, it discusses the periodic table of elements and how to determine if a molecule is an acid or a base based on its structure. The session concludes with examples of pH calculations for both strong and weak acid solutions.
