CHEM 6640: Research Techniques in Chemistry

Learn how the ideal gas equation is derived from Boyle's law, Charles’ law, and Avogadro's principle, unraveling the fundamentals of gas behavior.

Discover the process of determining the final temperature of an iron nail after heat absorption. Using the specific heat capacity of iron and the heat transfer formula, we calculate the temperature increase and reveal the nail's new thermal state. This tutorial offers a clear understanding of how materials respond to heat.

Discover how to find the molar mass of an unknown diprotic acid through a titration experiment with 0.1288 M NaOH. Learn step by step in this chemistry tutorial.

Discover how to choose the right indicator for a titration involving Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and a strong base. Grasp the calculations from molar mass to pH and understand why Thymolphthalein is the ideal choice for a change near pH 8.95.

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole
