CHEM 10027: Intro to Biological Sciences

Explore the fascinating discovery of a glucose polymer with alternating glycosidic linkages. We'll visualize its Haworth projection and investigate its potential role in organisms, pondering whether it primarily serves a structural or energy storage function. Additionally, we'll discuss which types of organisms might utilize this unique polysaccharide as a potential food source.

Discover the difference between strong and weak electrolytes by understanding their ionization in water. Using nitrous acid and nitric acid as examples, this video provides chemical equations that visually distinguish the ionization behavior of these electrolytes.

Unpack the intricacies of solid-state chemistry, focusing on the unit cell structure of tausonite. Discover its empirical formula, atomic arrangement, and the unique coordination patterns of titanium and strontium with oxygen atoms.

When water boils, bubbles rise to the surface, but what's in these bubbles? Let's evaluate the options. Option d, water vapor, is correct; the bubbles during boiling are primarily composed of water vapor, the gaseous state of water.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.
