I've never understood this and you made me understand it in the first few sentences

FIRST
GIMME THE MEDAL MY FAV TUTOR

[@prasadsenthilvelu3229]

The first point under the subtopic of "Bases" in the intro part is wrong, isn't it? Shouldn't it be "The strength of the base is limited/levelled by the *acidity* of the solvent"? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

[@BD_9333]

Yup! I was wondering the same. Must've been an error

[@lucabertossi664]

Thanks for the lesson. Great stuff !
Will the amine still be a suitable base ? As it will react with water to form the hydroxide which will subsequently be a strong enough base to react with the Keto to form your enolate.

[@petevenuti7355]

How do you figure out the pka of various more complicated organic compounds? Is that what's cyclic voltometry is for?

[@janah9789]

Very good thank you😊

[@thatomofolo452]

Valid points 👍👍💯

[@BorangeDoorhinge-gz3yx]

I just have one doubt. My teacher said that HCl needs to be dissolved in water for it to dissociate into ions, and that dry HCl cannot act as an acid. But if we dissolve HCl in water then it reacts with water to give H30+ ion. Does that mean HCl can never react with a base as an acid(not considering H30+ form)?

[@jt21419]

My understanding is that HCl in water can act as an acid but only as one whose pKa is no stronger than that of H30+. If you need a stronger acid than that you must use another solvent than water.

[@BorangeDoorhinge-gz3yx]

@@jt21419 Thank you very much... Also in your opinion is the pka of water 14 or 15.7? This channel says it is 15.7 but sites like libretext say it should be 14? And I am a bit partial towards the value 14 however my teacher says it is 15.7...

[@petevenuti7355]

I was told that calcium carbonate reaction with water is technically an acid base reaction , can you explain that?
Different hydrocarbons are formed with different carbides or just hydrogen. What happens with oxy-halides? Other chalcogen hydrides becides water?

may i ask what app you use for your videos?

[@fasihazaib3695]

Can we use solvent other than water

[@jt21419]

Yes, plenty of those in the chemical industry.

[@fasihazaib3695]

My teacher told me to use ammonia with acetic acid

ممتاز شكرا لك
