Ácidos/ Bases Fuertes y Débiles, Ka (Constante de disociación ácida) (1a parte)

Summary

This video explains key concepts in acid-base chemistry, including strong and weak acids and bases, dissociation constants (Ka and Kb), and acid-base conjugate pairs. Strong acids, like hydrochloric acid, fully dissociate in water, while weak acids, like acetic acid, dissociate partially. Similarly, strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, dissociate completely, while weak bases, like ammonia, dissociate partially. The video also covers how to calculate dissociation constants, demonstrating with examples like acetic acid and ammonia, and explores the relationship between Ka and the strength of acids. A larger Ka indicates a stronger acid with greater dissociation.
