Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In this episode, Hank talks about how nutty our world is via Buffers! He defines buffers and their compositions, talks about carbonate buffering systems in nature, acid rain, pH of buffers, and titration. Plus, a really cool experiment using indicators to showcase just how awesome buffers are. Pssst. we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode!

I have a question in regards to the acetic acid example if, for instance, a base was added instead of HCl. If I am not mistaken, the additional acetate ion added is only used if an acid is added because the acetate is what -sucks up- the H+ from whichever acid is added. If a base was added, however, is it not the acetic acid that -sucks up- the hydroxide ions, thus creating water and more acetate ions. If this is the case, than would we even need to add extra acetate initially?
Furthermore, acetic acid is a very weak acid, and if the acetic acid is what absorbs the OH-, would the created H20 and acetate even remain as H20 and acetate, or would it reverse back to constituent parts of OH- and acetic acid.

My field is very different (finance, as I've said in. basically every comment I leave, but I never went to high school so I'm watching these videos to catch up and be well rounded.
Your overwhelming excitement in this video has showed me that it's okay for me to geek out just as hard at my favorite parts of -my- area of expertise (my pet interests are the financial crisis, the time value of money and credit cards/scores.

at 5: 55 Hank said that acetic acid can act as a buffer because its product which is acetate can combine with H+ proton from HCL. However, the acetic acid also yield a H+ proton, so the pH overall must still be the same right?

Please. explain. in detail. why things are doing what they are doing. Rather then just stating it as absolute fact and expecting people to just know x. x; KILLIN ME BRO. still appreciate it tho.

Something about this video makes it very cathartic. It's between Hank's unbridled respect for the environment and chemistry and the lack of cuts during the great titration. This was a good one.

My teacher assigned this video for online school and I've been watching so much vlogbrothers in quarantine that I almost expected him to say -John, I'll see you on Tuesday- at the end

When looking at our INCREDIBLE EARTH I know without a doubt that a higher intelligence created everything around us. SO intricate. SO intentional. Praise God!

I hate that after learning quadratic equations I finally arrive at an application, only to be met with -we don't really need to do that-

If he-s talking to fast for you to take notes or understand put him on a 0. 75 speed and he sounds normal / slightly drunk your welcome

as a 13 years old kid i found this video to be very inspiring. Does anyone know any tip to get into the chemical industry?
