CHEM 1306: General Chemistry

Unpack the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative observations. Examples include a person's weight on the Moon and the depth a hand pump can reach. Learn why precise measurements are crucial in scientific studies.

Explore the polarity of Carbon disulfide, Sulfur dioxide, Methane, and Chloromethane. Learn how molecular shape influences electron distribution. Understand which molecules possess a net dipole moment and which ones don't.

Discover how to craft balanced, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various chemical reactions. Learn the significance of aqueous ions and solid state indicators in these equations.

Learn the method to determine the count of SO? molecules, sulfur, and oxygen atoms from a given amount of sulfur dioxide (SO?). Understand the application of Avogadro's number in translating moles to molecules. Grasp key concepts of atomic structure and counting with hands-on examples.

Unravel the electron configurations of diverse ions and discern their noble gas resemblances. Understand how atoms and ions strive for full outer electron shells for ultimate stability.

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.
