CHEM 120: Chemistry of Life

Grasp the concept of Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) and its significance in chemistry. Through a practical example, this video elucidates how phosphorus reacts with oxygen at STP to produce tetraphosphorus decaoxide. Comprehensive mole calculations and chemical equations simplify this intriguing chemical process.

Explore the chemical reaction between Aluminum and Iron (III) Oxide commonly used in welding. Learn to calculate the mass of Aluminum Oxide formed and identify the excess reagent. Dive deep into molar mass conversions stoichiometry and real-world applications in this chemistry tutorial.

Explore the chemical structures of four distinct ethers: ethyl propyl ether dibutyl ether methyl hexyl ether and dipentyl ether. Understand the role of ether groups which involve an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Discover the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis, where CO? and H?O produce glucose and O?. Uncover the step-by-step breakdown of the equation, ensuring atom balance. Grasp a clear understanding of this vital process in plant biology.

Unravel the Lewis structures of BrF?, ClF?, and IF? and their relationship with the octet rule. Examine how fluorine bonds with bromine, chlorine, and iodine. Identify molecules that deviate from the standard octet distribution.

Compare the acidity of chromium trioxide (CrO?) and chromium (II) oxide (CrO) in water. Chromium trioxide forms strong chromic acid increasing hydronium ions, while chromium (II) oxide has weaker oxidizing properties, resulting in a less acidic solution.
