CHEM 12400: Experimental Chemistry 1

We explore Lewis structures, which depict atom bonding and lone electron pairs. We create Lewis structures for potassium, barium, aluminum, and bromine by using group numbers in the periodic table to determine their valence electrons.

This instructional video guides you through the process of determining the number of molecules in a given sample. It illustrates the conversion from grams to moles using the molar mass of the substance and then to molecules using Avogadro's number, providing a practical example with ethane (C?H?) to calculate approximately 6.67 x 10²¹ molecules in a 0.334 g sample.

Learn the intricacies of Boyle's Law through an example involving isothermal compression of a perfect gas. Watch as we calculate the original pressure using the change in volume and final conditions. This tutorial simplifies complex gas laws for easy comprehension.

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

This video offers insights into the properties and boiling points of different alcohols and ethers, including antifreeze agents like ethylene glycol. We also discuss how molecular structures and interactions impact boiling points, shedding light on key differences among related compounds.
