    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

    The video contains a summary of the important points of Weak Acid / Strong Base Titration Curve

    Remember of the mol of strong base added = 0 then the pH is determined by the Ka equilibrium of the weak acid.

    If the mol of strong base added < mol of weak acid initial then convert to mols and used the Henderson Hasselbalch equation. 

    When mol of strong base = mol weak acid you are at the equivalence point.  The pH is determined by the concentration of the conjugate base.

    If the mol of strong base added > mol of weak acid initial then you are past the equivalence point.  The pH is determined by the concentration of the remaining –OH.
