Chemistry 2, Part 23: The pH of Salts, Plus Lewis Acids and Bases

Date: 2021-12-20

Two topics this time!  We'll look at salt solutions first -- you might think that salt solutions would all be neutral, but that's far from the case!  In fact, dissolved salts can be very acidic or basic -- a fact that's crucial to explaining the way buffers work.
We'll also look at the third of our three definitions of acid and base -- Lewis acids and bases.  This is actually the most useful definition if you want to understand a whole range of chemical reactions.  Lewis acids and bases explain a LOT of what you'll learn in Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry courses, so it's a good definition to remember if you ever take those classes!
