CHEM 2451: Organic Chemistry I

Discover the art of writing balanced, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various chemical reactions. Learn the nuances that differentiate between these equations and watch them applied to diverse chemical reactants.

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

Discover the step-by-step process of Barium Sulfate formation from the reaction of Barium Chloride with Sodium Sulfate. Learn about molar mass calculations stoichiometry and yield predictions.

Explore the process of determining ionizable hydrogen atoms in malonic acid using its molecular formula C3H4O4 and a neutralization reaction with Sodium hydroxide. Through methodical calculations involving the given mass of malonic acid and the required volume of Sodium hydroxide for neutralization we uncover that each molecule of malonic acid contains two ionizable H atoms.

Explore the concept of the degree of unsaturation in hydrocarbons. Understand its importance in revealing double bonds, triple bonds, or rings. Learn through examples like limonene, squalene, and lycopene.
