Comparison of Base Strength in Water and Ammonia II.2.1. Base Strength Using Kb and pKb II.2.2. Base Strength Using KaH and pKaH III. Conclusion I. Introduction Before we see the actual … More Acid-Base IX. Acidity, Basicity, and Solvent – Part 2
Almost all experiments in the lab needs the aid of a solvent. Just like reactants and products, solvents are also chemicals and they can react with other chemicals. Here we look at how to avoid unwanted side effects caused by the solvent. … More Acid-Base VIII. Acidity, Basicity, and Solvent – Part 1
We shall see two examples of reactions involving leaving groups and how to predict their course only by analysing the pKa of their potential leaving groups. … More Acid-Base VII. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 3
A lot of organic reactions aren’t obvious that they are actually acid-base reactions. Here, we look at an example and talk about how to see it as an acid-base reaction. … More Acid-Base VI. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 2
