Hey I really appreciate this very accessible explanation of things. I find that my biggest struggle in math and science is just understanding what all the notation means. So to have a verbal, descriptive, in-plain-American-English explanation of things is so totally helpful. Thanks very much.

So it can be really confusing to hear the pka of a base! They are really talking about the pKa of the conjugate acid of the base.

Wow! This is incredibly helpful. I was almost always confused when we talked about acids and bases, but this clears up most of my confusion. Thanks!
