First Acid-Base Lecture

We started our new unit on acids & bases. So far, the majority of the lessons are not very complex nor difficult to understand. I may just need to study some of the vocab again. The lecture consisted of identifying the differences between acids and bases, strong vs. weak, and Arrhenius vs Bronsted-Lowry acids. This was probably the most difficult out of the two lectures we've had so far as it was very vocab-packed, and there are some rules that need to be memorized in order to identify what type of acid or base a substance is. Today's lecture was more math based in that we had. It was basic math and involved a simple formula to find the M of either H or OH ions in a reaction.
