CHEM 1: General Chemistry

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.

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.

This video discusses the process of writing chemical formulas for different compounds, providing details on the types and charges of ions involved in each compound's composition. The video concludes with the chemical formulas for barium hydroxide, magnesium sulfite, calcium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, and lithium hydrogen carbonate.

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

Grasp the fundamental concept of moles in chemistry by equating it to the universally understood notion of a dozen. This video breaks down the usage of Avogadro's constant demonstrating calculations from moles to particles and vice versa. Using real-world examples like Carbon atoms Sulfur Dioxide molecules and Iron atoms viewers gain a clear understanding of moles and particle conversions

Learn how the ideal gas equation is derived from Boyle's law, Charles’ law, and Avogadro's principle, unraveling the fundamentals of gas behavior.
