Acidic and Basic Buffers

Buffers in all their glory! This video will look at how buffers work and how you can make an acidic buffer and basic buffer.

This video was made 8 years ago, but still an INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! I understood more in these 12 minutes than I have in my entire 2 years of A-level.

I just understood three weeks worth of buffer lessons in 12 minutes. Allery i love you, you're a gem❤❤

Unbelievable video always struggled with buffers due to the questionable teaching methods by my teacher. Thanks to this man I shall walk into my A2 exam with confidence.

you're actually the best chem teacher on youtube, and your videos are consise and quick, so helpful for last minute cramming lol, thanks so much

Phenomenal video - genuinely so much easier spending 10 minutes watching these videos as opposed to trying to process the content of the text book (which are generally very poor)

Thank you! You saving my academic life 6 years later!

[asthav]

such a life saver!!! you make it so much simpler! thank youu :)

[joannadaniel]

watched so many vids on the topic this defo was the best one thanks

[omardawood]

Perfect explanation.. A tricky concept made SIMPLE! ty

[mudassirraza]

Truly outstanding video you taught me better about buffer than my teacher, keep it up😌

[batmAN-fedn]

Thank you for this really useful video. Hoping to see more videos in time for exams :)

[missmegan]

fab video. you made it really easy to understand and I got it first time around.

[laysa]

[marissahosein]

This video was extremely helpful to me, thank you sir and continue making videos

[jamooon]

Thank you so much for this amazing video i am from ksa I well give you fallow

Wouldn’t the equilibrium shift to the right for when acid is added to the acidic buffer, as the addition of H* ions will make more CH3COOH, so to counteract this change the equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more CH3COO- and H*. Could you help me out with this I am a bit confused.

[zakz]

for the basic buffer when you added alkali why did the equilibrium shift to the left?

7 year aniversary of this video tomorrow

Why does the equilibrium shift to the left when you add hydroxide ions to the basic buffer? Thanks for the videos😊

12:00 i dont get whats being opposed. surely if OH- reacts with NH4+ then you are reducing the concentration of NH4+ so i would assume the equilibrium shifts right to make more of the NH4+ thats been used up by reacting with OH-?
