Acids, Bases, and pH



Paul Andersen explains pH as the power of hydrogen. He explains how increases in the hydronium ion (or hydrogen ion) concentration can lower the pH and create acids. He also explains how the reverse is true. An analysis of a strong acid and strong base is also included.

    Acids give H to the environment.
    Bases take H from the environmrnt.

    You must be more specific. I found issue in the way you used the term 'we' when speaking about the acronym pH, it made me believe that you and the scientific community didn't know what it meant, it was just very confusing.

    Dude, I'm a chemistry teacher and thought I'd check out your videos. No offense but you're going WAY too fast and without any connective explanation for kids to retain. Teach it as if you just learned it yourself. Just an FYI.

    'pH' was developed in a French speaking lab. The French word for power is 'pouvoir' or 'puissance'. This is likely the origin of 'pH'.

    there is a water company that is making and selling H3O for consumption. They call it exclusion water. Much research is being done about it… Interesting.

    Honestly I think Mr. Andersen is super boring and I don’t like taking tests about his videos but he does cover lots of material and he’s, admittedly, helpful
