ECHE 112: General Chemistry II

This video breaks down the process of calculating the time and number of photons required to boil water in a microwave. Using given power, wavelength, and water specifics, we determine both energy needs and photon count.

Discover the art of classifying compounds as ionic or molecular based on bonding. Unravel the nuances between ionic and covalent bonds using electronegativity differences as a guide. Classify CoCl2 CF4 BaSO4 and NO with in-depth explanations and predict their properties.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.

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.

Learn how to find the density of silver using weight and water displacement. A step-by-step guide to a common laboratory technique.
