CHEM 100: Chemistry and Society

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.

This video delves into the fundamental concept of conjugate bases in the context of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, explaining how when acids donate protons, they transform into their respective conjugate bases. This understanding is exemplified through the specific reactions of various compounds, illustrating how each Brønsted acid, upon proton donation, gives rise to its corresponding conjugate base.

Learn the method to determine the count of SO? molecules, sulfur, and oxygen atoms from a given amount of sulfur dioxide (SO?). Understand the application of Avogadro's number in translating moles to molecules. Grasp key concepts of atomic structure and counting with hands-on examples.

Learn how to calculate the amounts of Cesium and Iodine in a 38.77g sample of a Cs-I compound. Starting with a 125g compound this tutorial uses conversion factors to find 19.83g of Cesium and 18.94g of Iodine. Perfect for chemistry students seeking to master stoichiometry and compound analysis.

Explore the diverse structures of C?H?? alkyl groups and classify them into primary, secondary, or tertiary categories. Through a visualization of carbon atom arrangements, uncover the nuances of n-pentyl, sec-pentyl, tert-pentyl, isopentyl, and neopentyl structures.

Explore the reaction between alanine and glycine, two amino acids, and unravel whether this process results in multiple reaction products. We'll delve into the intriguing world of peptide bond formation and examine the potential diversity of products that may emerge from this biochemical reaction."
