Acids and Bases | Definitions, pKa & Acid Strength | 3.1 Organic Chemistry

Chad provides an introduction to acids and bases for organic chemistry by first comparing and contrasting Bronsted Lowry and Lewis acids and bases. He then shows how pKa values are more commonly used than Ka values in organic chemistry for comparing the relative strength of acids and bases. Chad then lists the pKas of various organic functional groups in a pKa table that he recommends students memorize before concluding with how to determine if an acid-base reaction favors the reactants or products at equilibrium.
