CHB 1021: Introductory Chemistry (CHEM 1021, Dr Plath)

Understand gas stoichiometry by exploring the Ideal Gas Law, which integrates key laws like Gay-Lussac's, Charles's, Avogadro's, and Boyle's. Discover how this equation helps determine relationships between gas volumes and moles in reactions.

Discover how to calculate specific rotations of samples using a polarimeter in this informative chemistry tutorial. Explore optical activity and learn step-by-step calculations for two real-world examples. Enhance your understanding of specific rotation and its application in chemical analysis.

Discover the art of classifying compounds as ionic or molecular based on bonding. Unravel the nuances between ionic and covalent bonds using electronegativity differences as a guide. Classify CoCl2 CF4 BaSO4 and NO with in-depth explanations and predict their properties.

Explore oxidation and reduction processes across four chemical reactions differentiating between acid-base and redox activities. Highlighting key substances and their roles in each reaction.

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.

Explore the concept of bond energy with the H-Cl bond as a prime example. Delve into the energy dynamics of bond breaking (endothermic positive ?H) versus bond formation (exothermic negative ?H). Understand how the magnitude remains consistent but signs differ based on energy absorption or release.
