What Makes Something Acidic?
An informative video provides a definition for an acid, where it falls on the pH scale, and how individuals test for them. It uses many examples with chemical equations.
Fuse School
What Makes Things Alkali?
Begin with what an alkali is and how they are formed through ionic compounds. It discusses pH testing and the properties of bases. The video covers three different theories and the way they react.
Fuse School
Indicators
Use a scientific video that begins with types of pH indicators, including pH meters, universal indicators, and litmus paper to explain titration indicators.

What is the pH Scale
Seeing red? If it was blue litmus paper, then it is an acid. Viewers learn about the pH scale through a video that shows how liquids may be tested by litmus paper and a universal indicator.

The pH Scale
Studying acids and bases can be basic. Over the course of four short videos, an instructor explains the pH scale. Viewers observe a demonstration and watch the instructor solve two quiz questions in detail.
Crash Course
Buffers, the Acid Rain Slayer
Titrations are a great work-out routine; you get buffer. But what are buffers and where do they naturally occur? Watch this explanation to find out. Also included are a discussion of acid rain, carbonate buffering,...

Weak Acid/Base
Want to hear a joke about nitric oxide? NO! A chemistry video features an instructor adding a weak base to a weak acid, adding a weak acid to a weak base, and offers a one question quiz on pH. This is the 10th set of videos in a...
Berkeley University of California
Strong Acid and Indicator+Base (NB)
What happens when you mix a strong base into a strong acid and the resulting pH change? Explore this reaction with a demonstrative chemistry video. This is the ninth video in a series of 13.
Ricochet Science
Acids, Bases and pH
What makes an acid different from a base? The explanation discusses the formation of an acid or base from hydrogen and hydroxide ions. The instruction ends with an overview of how this relates to the pH scale.
