CHM 101: General Chemistry

Discover the importance of calculating percent error to assess the precision of experiments. Through real-world examples like measuring alcohol's density and the mass of gold, learn how this value offers insights into measurement accuracy and ways to refine methods.

Discover the process of naming acids based on their anions and oxidation states. This video breaks down the correct naming of HNO2(aq) by distinguishing its anion and determining its place in the world of mineral acids.

In this video, we demonstrate the creation of Lewis structures for methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen selenide, and ammonia, highlighting the arrangement of atoms and bonds in each molecule. The video emphasizes the importance of Lewis structures in visualizing atomic bonding and the presence of lone electron pairs.

Unraveling HNO? Titration: Calculating [H?] Halfway with KOH. Harness the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH determination. Discover the pH at midpoint between weak acid and strong base titration.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.
