Acidity is one of the most frequently tested concepts in DAT Organic Chemistry, yet many students struggle with how to compare structures correctly. In this video, Dr. Jim Romano explains how to evaluate acidity trends by focusing on stability of the conjugate base, rather than memorization...

DAT Question of the Day Before scrolling to the explanation, try solving this DAT-level question. The striped skunk is widely known for the highly odoriferous defensive secretion it uses to repel predators. One chemical in the secretion is a four carbon thiol. If another compound was found...

I recently checked out a document from UCLA a which shows the pKa's of each amino acid. I know that each protein's environment can have a affect on pKa's, or so I was told, but that is besides the point. My question is in regards to figuring out charge, specifically for tyrosine. Assumptions...

Hello all, my MCAT is this Thursday and I'm feeling good. One thing still befuddles me a lil. So when we're looking at an AAs charge in solution, are we looking at the pka or pI? Take Asparatate for example, it's pI is roughly 2.7 and it's pka is 4, so if a solution had a pH of 3, would it be...

Hi guys, This may be a silly question, but I'm confused about the formula pKw=pKa+pKb (and I guess by extension Kw=Ka*Kb). My confusion came from an Examkrackers question asking "What is the pKb for HSO3-?" when given the pKa of H2SO3 (1.81) and pKa of HSO3- (6.91). The answer for the pKb of...
