CEM 152: Principles of Chemistry

Learn the method to calculate the mass of a substance using its density and volume. This video demonstrates the practical application of density in determining the mass of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) from a given volume.

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.

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.

Discover Lewis structures for various molecular formulas, including N2, HCN, CO2, C3H6, and more. Explore their chemical bonding and structural arrangements.

This video explores the process of fatty acid catabolism, highlighting its occurrence in the mitochondria, the crucial role of mitochondria in energy generation, and the metabolic reactions involved without revealing specific details or conclusions.

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.
