CHEM 112: General Chemistry II

Discover the distinct geometries of molecules like N?O, SO?, H?S, and PF?. Unravel the difference between molecular and electron shapes. Master the basics of linear, bent, tetrahedral, and trigonal pyramidal structures.

Explore the relationship between mass, density, and volume using real-life examples, including water, ethanol, chloroform, and balsa wood. Learn the process of calculating mass and uncover which substance has the highest mass based on given conditions.

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.

Discover the analysis of ionic character in compounds based on electronegativity differences. Learn about the contrasts between NaBr vs. HBr and BrCl vs. FCl. Grasp why NaBr and FCl showcase greater ionic character than their paired compounds.

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

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.
