CHEM 145: Honors General Chemistr

Unraveling Molecular Structures: Explore the composition of compounds with molecular formulas CH4O, CH3Cl, C2H6, CH5N, C2F6, C2H5Br, and C3H8. Learn about their unique structures and properties.

This video tackles the classification of boiling water as either a physical or chemical change, examining the provided options. We conclude that boiling is a physical change, as the water's chemical composition remains the same during the transition from liquid to gas.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.

Learn how to create Lewis structures for various molecules and assign charges where needed. Understand the molecular connectivity and electron distribution.

Understanding pH Values: In this video we break down the pH levels of various solutions. Discover the importance of acid strengths via Ka and pKa contrast weak vs. strong acids and learn the counterintuitive relationship between pOH and pH.
