Solution Chemistry and Net Ionic Equations

What are electrolytes? Yes, they're what plants crave. But they are also ionic solids dissociated in solution, such that they can conduct electrical current. Learn about solutions!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

What I have realized is that, with chemistry you have to understand what is actually happening rather than memorizing equations. I had a rough time with the first chemistry class I took in college because of this. my brain was not trying to understand chemistry. but now taking analytical Chem I am struggling a bit because as easy as the basics are, youre making it easier for me to go back and recall certain concepts and force me to understand conceptually and understand why everything is happening!!

Professor Dave is my real chem professor cuz I dont know anything thats going on in ny lectures and he's just so helpful

[themariola]

ugh wish I had discovered you sooner !!! please make more !!!!

[brettwolf]

I wish I had found you on my first semester of chem! Anyways, I sincerely appreciate your videos. You do a wonderful job of bridging the gap between too lame to learn anything and too complex to understand!

my test is 1 month from now and you are helping me so much thx so much you explain insanely good

[hadisaazizi]

YOUR PAGE IS AMAZING I've BEEN WATCHING SINCE HIGHSCHOOL AND NOT IT IS SUPER HELPFUL FOR ONLINE thank

[zyprexamg]

Thank you so much Prof. Dave! I love your videos.

Thank you again lumberjack chemistry jesus

I AM 7TH GRADE AND LOVE STUDYING 10 AND 11TH STUFF. YOU HELP ME SO MUCH.

Hi professor, you should perhaps mention how to write net ionic equation if you have weak acid or base included. Rules are slightly different when they're involved.

Hey Professor Dave, so the compounds in solid phase do not cancel in the ionic equation because they are not soluble?

Also - is the purpose of ionic equations to isolate the ionic reactants that come together (in this case synthesize) to form a compound?

Cheers!

[banderfargoyl]

You don't need to write out the full ionic equation and cancel. You can just put the precipitate on the right and its ions on the left.

Hi Professor Dave, why wasn't the Ba3(PO4)2 compound split up?

[규링-st]

thank you so much professor! but why don't we split CaCO3 at the product of equation?

I know I am super late at questioning but how do u determine whether to put positive or negative?

[docfawadahmed]

We often say particles(Na+ or Cl-) move freely in solution. What it mean? As H2O surrounds these ions, then whether these ions form and break again & again or the H2O molecules move freely and So they pull these ions with itself(H2O).

How benzene can dissolve many compounds if it cannot make dipole dipole interactions?

[chasethescientistsaturre]

I think a 12 yr old can understand this because of the simple explanation

[varshapaliwal]

Sir we have a method to determine a single replacement reaction Will happen or not by the help of metal reactivity series but how to know a double replacement reaction Will happen or not

[jazzmyne]

Yeah roast those lazy spectator ions. Tey don't even do chemistry. 😂😝
