MCAT Basics 3: Acids and Bases

This episode covers acids and bases. The following topics are covered: definitions, pH calculations, quick logarithm calculations, titrations, buffers, and the blood buffer system. Some of the material is very basic, but it is all important for the MCAT.

Correction:

A lewis acid is an electrophile – accepts e pair

A lewis base is a nucleophile – donates an e pair

(Thanks for the correction, David)
