CHEM 2312: Honors Organic Lab

Explore the endothermic reaction between Ba(OH)2·8H2O and NH4NO3 observing its impact on surroundings like the freezing water. Discover why touching the beaker feels cold and learn about heat transfer in such chemical reactions. This video is an insightful demonstration of heat absorption in chemical reactions.

Explore the fascinating world of chemistry as we calculate the mass of a sugar crystal with 1.8 x 10¹? molecules of sucrose. Using the concept of a mole and Avogadro's number, discover how to convert molecular numbers to milligrams. Grasp foundational principles in a clear, engaging format.

This video explores the concept of structural levels (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary) in biomolecules, focusing on double-stranded DNA, tRNA, and mRNA to understand the diverse ways these molecules exhibit these structural layers.

The video offers an insightful look into the orthorhombic unit cell, a unique crystal lattice structure. By exploring nickel sulfate's unit cell and its specific dimensions, we determine both the number of formula units and the density of this crystalline structure.

In this analysis, we determine the composition of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.15g of nickel(II) nitrate in 175mL of water (density 1.00 g/mL). The mass percent of nickel(II) nitrate is found to be approximately 6.50%, and the mole fraction of nickel(II) ions in the solution is calculated as 0.00672.

We categorize elements into representative, transition, inner-transition, and noble gases based on their positions in the periodic table and general characteristics, without revealing specific element classifications.
