In this lesson you will learn how to calculate the pH of a base. Also a brief theory on the auto-ionization of water and how to use the ionization constant of water (Kw).
Sir, just wanted to encourage you to do the wonderful work you, Im learning 95% of the work on your channel and your methods and teaching techniques are really expectional. Thank you sir. God Bless your grind
Acids and Bases has always been an issue for me , but after watching your Playlist on it , it seems so much more easier to understand. Writing P2 tomorrow and I feel more confident than nervous. Thank Youuu for your efforts in helping us ✨️genuinely appreciated
You actually make Physics fun. I never thought I would say this in my entire life. My marks have improved so much ever since I started watching your lessons. Thank you so much
I am writing later today. I can never have enough of your videos sir. They are so helpful. I have been watching your videos since term 1 and I am not afraid to say you are the best. Though calculations come in different forms and seem perplexed, I am sure I will remember all your teachings. May God bless you 🙏. Starting a RU-vid channel was never a bad idea because wow, it's like this is your calling ❤. By the way, do you give your learners your whatsapp contacts for when they want some help with their own questions? If yes, I am kindly asking for them🤲
Thank you so much. I'll always do my best to serve you with good content... Please send me an email: mlungisi.m.nkosi@gmail.com. All the best in your exam 😉
Sir💯💯. I have a question about the changing of temperatures though, how can I still use the second method? Because I feel like that's probably the one I will always use
The second method is the one... I like it too. If the temperature changes Kw changes... So to use the second method, determine pH +pOH =pKw. pKw = - log Kw
I'm confused sir. The question said calculate the pH of sodium hydroxide solution and so why did you calculate pH of Hydronium ion? Why didn't you use pH = - log (OH)? Why did you use ionization of water constant formula?
Great sir, thank you... As we teach our learners, let's also warn them of the same error. I know how easy it is to make that mistake hence I emphasized the finding of hydronium ions. I agree, the second method is convenient. The issue though comes when they change the Kw value for a different temperature. However it is still doable
