What is Kw? What does it actually mean? How does it change with temperature? All of the answers to this are related to EQUILIBRIUM. New website! www.chemistnate.com
Alive4Metal Good feedback. I should re-shoot this one. Stay tuned !To answer your question right now, it so happens that [H+] and [OH-] are produced in pure water at 1x10^-7 mol/L. This number changes with temperature. So, using Keq = [H+][OH-], we get a Keq of 10^-14. We call it Kw though
It’s the rate at which water auto-ionizes. So the rate at which water will decompose into H3O+ and OH-, and also the speed of the reverse reaction. This is why water is neutral, because the charges of H3O and OH- cancel each other out, and there are always equal amounts created and reformed at all times. That’s the best explanation I got.
Most of you people are complaining even though I'm sure you learned something. It's a youtube tutorial and he tutored what the title promised. Your complaints are ridiculously childish especially considering most of you were only here because you're too lazy to open your gen chem book. Nice video man, I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Thank you for speaking like that in every video because it helps us non native english speakers to understand unlike other channels who speaks so fast that we cant understand even with the help of CC
So helpful! There are SO.MANY.CONSTANTS it's maddening trying to remember, but having someone step back and give the big picture makes it muuuch better!
Great video. You know more than I. You have my respect for that. I improve thanks to your effort. You may be condescending and rude. The paper may be dirty. It may be cardboard. I do not care. You owe nothing to me. Thank you Sir and fuc. everybody who is complaining.
you're not explaining anything all your explanations come to state that blue is blue and orange is orange /// instead of explaining this concept (deducing it mathematically from the law of mass action - apparently you're unable doing so) you just take the Kw expression for granted and proceed forward
what if other species are present. Like what if HCl completely dissolved turning the solution acidic, would the kw still be the same once equilibrium is reached? Would the higher Hydronium concentration be counteracted by a lower Hydroxide concentration, making the kw still be 10^-14 at 25 C?
idk what people are talking about. condescending? they just don't understand. love your personality and enthusiasm haha. thanks for another excellent video!
