CHEM 162: General Chemistry

In this video, we demonstrate the creation of Lewis structures for methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen selenide, and ammonia, highlighting the arrangement of atoms and bonds in each molecule. The video emphasizes the importance of Lewis structures in visualizing atomic bonding and the presence of lone electron pairs.

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.

Delve into the journey of scientific ideas as we discuss how a hypothesis can evolve into a theory, and whether a theory can ever become a law. Uncover the distinctions and connections between these fundamental elements of scientific understanding in this illuminating video.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts

Detailed walkthrough of calculating sulfur dioxide gas volume produced from burning tetraphosphorus trisulfide. Utilizes stoichiometry and the Ideal Gas Law to derive results under specific conditions. Step-by-step guide for understanding chemical reactions and gas volume calculations

Discover how to choose the right indicator for a titration involving Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and a strong base. Grasp the calculations from molar mass to pH and understand why Thymolphthalein is the ideal choice for a change near pH 8.95.
