CHM 115: Principles of Chemistry I

Discover the contrasting processes of vaporization and condensation and their thermal nature. Understand why boiling is endothermic, absorbing heat, while condensation is exothermic, releasing heat, and how these processes impact ?H values.

Discover how to determine the final temperature of a water sample after heat absorption. Utilizing the concept of specific heat capacity and the formula q = mc?T, we calculate the change in temperature and reveal its new state. Experience the transformation from an initial tepid state to a drastically altered thermal condition.

Converting Denver's average pressure of 24.9 in. Hg into various units. This video provides clear steps to determine equivalents in millimeters of mercury atmospheres pounds per square inch and pascals. Understand the relationships and conversions between these common pressure units.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
