CHEM 384: Foundations in Biochemistry

Learn how to find the density of silver using weight and water displacement. A step-by-step guide to a common laboratory technique.

Explore the intricacies of endothermic and exothermic reactions through everyday examples. Delve into the energy dynamics of ice melting and water freezing, while emphasizing the importance of the heat change (?H) in these processes.

Learn how to determine the number of moles in a given set of atoms using Avogadro's number. This tutorial breaks down the calculation for Aluminum and Iron, simplifying the concept for better understanding.

Explore the distinct chemical formulas of various acids like phosphoric, hydrobromic, and sulfurous acids. Understand their practical applications, from flavoring agents to sanitization in brewing. Highlighting their unique molecular makeup, learn the critical roles they play.

We explore the impact of increasing the concentration of ethylene glycol in an antifreeze mixture, explaining the resulting effect on the freezing point of the solution by examining its interaction with water molecules.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.
