What references would you recommend to review titrations, emf, optics, extraction?

I am having trouble with several topics that I have come across multiple times on full lengths. These topics include titrations, emf, optics, and extraction. Are there any resources that you could recommend that provide efficient review in these areas in a way that is comprehendible.

This is going to come across as self-serving, which is the last thing I want and have tried to avoid for years. But on occasion, you need to toot your own horn when it's the shiniest. The four topics you just mentioned are keystone topics that BR emphasizes. No book, review or otherwise, covers titration curves as well as BR books. It's a hybrid of a little math and a little common sense mixed with familiarity and pattern recognition. Ask anyone who used BR materials what a lip on a curve means, and you'll be surprised at what they'll be able to tell you about the titration. When it comes to emf, practice really helps. It's really nothing more than accounting, where you must put things in a standard format before adding. Electrochemistry is an area where BR really excels, as this galvanic cell video will show. The lab techniques chapter, including extraction, is the strength of the BR organic chemistry book. Again, there is a perspective taken in the book that is simplistic and highly applicable to questions. Lastly, lenses and mirrors can be made extremely easy by first deciding if the system is diverging or converging. If you master the BR perspective, then you will be able to get even the hardest questions with crazy numbers and take about twenty seconds to get them right.

I personally enjoy and learn a lot from watching videos since I am a visual learner.

For Gen. Chem, Chad's videos do a great job. For physics, I suggest Khan Academy (also serves well for chemistry as a free tool).

Thank you for your feedback.

I was having problems with extraction and after watching Chad's video am ready to kill any extraction question so hey get him
