CH 112: Principles of Chemistry I

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.

Discover how to calculate the vapor pressure of a glycerin solution when mixed with water at a specific temperature. A valuable chemistry lesson.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.

Explore the chemical reaction between Aluminum and Iron (III) Oxide commonly used in welding. Learn to calculate the mass of Aluminum Oxide formed and identify the excess reagent. Dive deep into molar mass conversions stoichiometry and real-world applications in this chemistry tutorial.

Understand the fundamental distinctions between pure substances and mixtures. Unpack the definitions and real-world examples of elements, compounds, homogeneous, and heterogeneous mixtures.

This video explains the importance of the number of valence electrons in an element's chemical behavior and demonstrates how to determine the valence electrons for potassium, calcium, and aluminum based on their positions in the periodic table. Valence electrons dictate an element's reactivity with other elements, making this knowledge essential for understanding chemical reactions.
