CHEM 11862: Organic Chemistry

The kinetic molecular theory of gases describes the random motion and speed distribution of gas molecules in a container, and when considering various statements about the average speeds of these molecules, it's important to understand how they behave under different conditions.

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.

Delve into the intricate interplay between glycogen synthesis activation and glycogen phosphorylase deactivation. Discover the essential mechanisms that ensure the efficient management of glucose storage and utilization in the body.

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.

Unravel the chemistry behind precipitation reactions and the creation of insoluble salts. Learn how aqueous ions interact to form solid precipitates, illustrated with examples like silver nitrate and sodium chloride. Understand their significance in fields from water treatment to qualitative analysis.

This instructional video demonstrates the process of calculating the mass percent of various solutions, using the formula "mass of solute divided by mass of solution, all multiplied by 100%." It provides step-by-step calculations for three different solutions, revealing the concentration of each solute in terms of mass percent, offering a practical understanding of quantifying solute proportions in solutions.
