    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 Comparison of Strong Acid/Strong Base and Weak Acid/Strong Base pH Curves

    Some Points:

    1) The initial pH of a SA/SB titration curve is lower.

    2) The buffer region in the WA/SB titration curve is +/- 1 of the pKa for HAc.  pKa = 4.74.

    3) In the WA/SB titration curve, the pH > 7 at the equivalence point.

    4) In a SA/SB titration curve, the pH = 7 at the equivalence point.

    5) In both titration curves the pH rises quickly after the equivalence point is reached.
