Exploring the Properties of Acids and Bases

The video tutorial by Mr. Doar Oh covers the properties of acids and bases, their presence in everyday life, and their physical and chemical characteristics. It explains the Arrhenius theory, which describes how acids and bases behave in water, and distinguishes between strong and weak acids and bases. The tutorial also provides practical examples and demonstrations to illustrate these concepts.
