MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014 View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/5-111F14 Instructor: Catherine Drennan We finish the topic of acid-base titrations and consider why pKa is so important. Chemist Samuel Thompson talks about a problem he encountered in his undergraduate research that had to do with the pKa of a molecular probe. Learn what the problem was and how he solved it.
