CHM 1040: Chemistry Skills and Reasoning

Learn the intricacies of Boyle's Law through an example involving isothermal compression of a perfect gas. Watch as we calculate the original pressure using the change in volume and final conditions. This tutorial simplifies complex gas laws for easy comprehension.

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole

Learn the method to determine the count of SO? molecules, sulfur, and oxygen atoms from a given amount of sulfur dioxide (SO?). Understand the application of Avogadro's number in translating moles to molecules. Grasp key concepts of atomic structure and counting with hands-on examples.

This video breaks down the configurations for In In+ In2+ and In3+ distinguishing between diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties. Uncover the oxidation state of Indium in InCl2 and understand its diamagnetic nature.

Explore the world of oxidizing and reducing agents in chemistry. Gain a clear understanding of what they are and how they function without delving too deep into the subject matter.

This video discusses how the electronegativity of attached groups affects the strength of acids. Comparing pairs such as Chloroacetic vs Fluoroacetic and Acetic vs Nitroacetic acids, we highlight which is the stronger acid in each pair and why.
