Ka and pH calculations for weak acids can be trick on the MCAT if you attempt a general chemistry approach. Ice tables and quadratic equations are not only a waste of time, but nearly impossible without a calculator. This video shows you my shortcut for skipping the ICE chart and skipping the quadratic equation for […]
pH and Hydrolysis for Salts of Weak Acids and Bases in MCAT Chemistry
Video 8 is the final, and potentially most intriguing video in my MCAT Acid Base series. This video shows you how to identify salts that will result in an acidic, basic, or neutral solution. You’ll learn how to think about each ion to help you determine its effect on pH. (Click to watch on YouTube. […]
MCAT Chemistry Hybridization Review for sp3 sp2 and sp
Before you can really understand molecular and electronic geometries, you need to have a strong understand of why and how atomic hybridization occurs. The videos below are taken from my Organic Chemistry Basics tutorial series to help you make sense of sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization. Once mastered you’ll find the MCAT Chemistry: Electronic and Molecular […]
