https://chemistrymadesimple.net/episode/9/ (Read the full show notes)
In this episode we:
define acids (and bases)
discuss why acids are SO reactive
define and compare weak acids and strong acids (and talk about the common mistake made)
talk about why pH is useful, and define how to calculate it

Suggested listening: Also listen to episode 10 which discusses the assumptions used when making calculations involving weak acids, and introduces the acid dissociation constant.
