Acid-Base Reactions in Solution: Crash Course Chemistry #8

Thanks for watching this episode of Crash Course Chemistry. If you paid close attention, you probably learned that

chemistry

can cause death, that

acid

s and

base

s are more complex than you thought, and that an

acid

donates a proton while a

base

accepts one. You also learned that when an acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base and when a base receives a proton, it forms a conjugate acid. He also performed stoichiometry calculations for acidic and basic

reactions
