Neutralization Reaction

030 - Neutralization Reaction

In a neutralization reaction (or acid-base reaction) a proton is transferred from the Brønsted--Lowry acid to the Brønsted--Lowry base. Water is amphoteric and so it can serve as either an acid or a base in a neutralization reaction. The strength of an acid or a base is determined by the ability to donate or receive a proton.

I used to watch you in high school and now I'm in college and I'm referring back to these videos for some review...gotta say it's so good to see you again Mr. Anderson!

[Cricket]

You make studying for finals much easier. Thank you! I aspire to be as good a chemistry teacher as you one day.

[rymunoz]

Thanks Mr. Anderson. I wish my hour class was replaced By your video!!

[sciencenerd]

He gets my vote for awesomest pronouncing of Bronsted-Lowry

The molecular universe is an amazing place to observe and study. It gives us insight as to our place on the space-time scale and, more importantly, allows us to better understand that around us which we cannot see. Fascinating.

please don't stop posting. I really think that your videos are helpful and I can't stop suggesting your videos to my other bio/chem colleagues.

Thank you so much for explaining this to me; my teacher was not helpful at all. I hope you keep up these videos, because you the reason I am passing my class. :)

[MrHellsing]

Teach my TEACHER! Things seem harder when she assigns them.

There were some helpful ideas here, but I saw no mention of a classic neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. No mention of water and salt as the products. You hit some of the ideas of acids and bases, but... curiously not the one in the title.

Thank you for making this video. I really appreciated

[camygarcia]

Awesome video and awesome teacher!! Thank you so much!!!

[marisolgarcia]

Thank you Mr. Anderson you made this whole Neutralization Reaction topic real real easy for me. :-)

[oliviak]

Your vidoes actually help me so much! Studying for exams and this really help :-)

the conjugate acid is the molecule or compound that has gained a proton and the conjugate base is the molecule or protein that has lost a proton.

[levibedregal]

Thanks for the great review video. Do you what a reaction that produces water is called?

[DevilDoor]

Thank you very much for explaining it in a simple manner

[JordanStomps]

What is he using to create these presentations, like the drawing and transitions. Just curious! Thanks!

[zfprhco]

that was very helpful and clear thank you very much

[ShanmugaSundaramAnandan]

Thank you! You have made my work easier!

A little mistake. Reaction between strong acid like HCl with water has only one direction (from left to right). It's not reversible process.
