CHEM 177: General Chemistry I

Explore the power of chemical names and symbols in deciphering copper compound formation at each step of the copper cycle, with an illustrative example.

Discover the Intricate Checks and Balances in Protein Synthesis Fidelity: Join us in this video to unravel the two critical moments when the accuracy of protein synthesis is assured, shedding light on the 'how' and 'when' of this essential process.

This video elucidates the method to sketch Lewis structures for the radical species ClF? and BrO?. Highlighting the distinguishing feature of an unpaired electron, we illustrate the bond arrangements and lone pairs that define these unique chemical entities.

Explore the fascinating discovery of a glucose polymer with alternating glycosidic linkages. We'll visualize its Haworth projection and investigate its potential role in organisms, pondering whether it primarily serves a structural or energy storage function. Additionally, we'll discuss which types of organisms might utilize this unique polysaccharide as a potential food source.

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it undergoes dissociation into its constituent ions. The total moles of ions released is determined by adding up the moles of each ion generated during this dissociation process. In the case of (a) disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na?HPO?), it dissociates into two sodium ions and one hydrogen phosphate ion. For (b) copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO? · 5H?O), it dissociates into one copper ion and one sulfate ion. In (c), nickel(II) chloride (NiCl?) diss
