Chromium Oxides: Acidity Comparison in Water
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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.

We'll guide you through the process of calculating the energy associated with X-ray photons when the wavelength is 0.154 nm. This video offers a practical application of physics and helps you understand the energy spectrum of X-rays. Whether you're a science enthusiast or a student, you'll gain valuable insights into this intriguing topic.
Lattice Energy: Always Positive; Hydration Energy: Always Negative
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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
