    This project was preformed to supply Libretext authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects.  Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.

     

    Video Topics

    This video contains the sample problem below were the pH of a buffer is calculated after the addition of a known amount of a strong acid.    

    Say you have a 1.00 L of an acetic acid / sodium acetate buffer.  If the initial {HAc} is 0.700 M and the initial {Ac-} is 0.600 M.

    What would be the pH if 10.0 mL of a 1.0 M HCl solution is added?
