In general chemistry you spent many hours drawing out ICE charts and doing pKa calculations. After many calculations you were able to determine strong and weak acids. Not in organic chemistry.
At the orgo level you may be given ka/pKa values, but not for the purpose of doing calculations. These values help you rank strong or weak acids.
But that's when the values are given. More than likely you'll be faced with numberless acids. What then? This video shows you the logic behind the CARIO approach which will be broken down in subsequent videos.

Wow this is AMAZING. I switched from Khan to you. You connected dots and made building blocks of knowledge.
Your videos are amazing! it’s so helpful and Idk how to thank you . you answered all my questions on these videos
Hi Leah, I’m struggling with my Ochem 1 right now, but your videos are helpful! They are really giving me hope to continue… I’m doing O chem, G.chem 2 and Genetics together plus full time job, so I understand why I’m struggling so much.
I will be going to pa school that starts by May, that left me with no choice.
Anyway, thanks so much for all you do to help students. I appreciate you!
This was great!!
seriously, u are awesome!… I hoped you understand that you pave the way for doctors and dentists and pharmacist etc. Your concepts help so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words, glad to help!
Thanks, your video on strength of acids made me understand the concepts so well when compared to reading from the text.
I find books to be… boring and dry. Glad the video helped you Henry
Hi Leah! Thank you so much for making these videos free and available! I took Organic 1 and 2 last year, but am currently reviewing for an OD entrance exam. These concepts are becoming easier and making so much more sense to me after watching your videos! I wish I had found your site during my course!
Thank you so much and I’m so glad to help you prepare for your exam. Good luck! When is it?
thank you !
You’re welcome Gerardo
thanks you
without you i couldn’t get it most of the concept of organic chemistry
