CHEM 101: Intro to Chemistry

Discover how to determine the density of mineral oil and a metal ball bearing using a graduated cylinder. Learn the method of calculating the mass difference and volume to deduce the density and radius of the ball. Watch a detailed physics experiment explained step by step.

Uncover the science behind boiling points and molecular interactions in this video. Explore why Dimethylamine boils at a higher temperature than Trimethylamine, despite having a lower molecular weight, and gain insights into the role of molecular structures in determining physical properties.

Explore the concept of the degree of unsaturation in hydrocarbons. Understand its importance in revealing double bonds, triple bonds, or rings. Learn through examples like limonene, squalene, and lycopene.

Discover the difference between strong and weak electrolytes by understanding their ionization in water. Using nitrous acid and nitric acid as examples, this video provides chemical equations that visually distinguish the ionization behavior of these electrolytes.

Explore the chemical structures of four distinct ethers: ethyl propyl ether dibutyl ether methyl hexyl ether and dipentyl ether. Understand the role of ether groups which involve an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Explore the concept of bond energy with the H-Cl bond as a prime example. Delve into the energy dynamics of bond breaking (endothermic positive ?H) versus bond formation (exothermic negative ?H). Understand how the magnitude remains consistent but signs differ based on energy absorption or release.
