CHEM 141: General Chemistry

Compare the acidity of chromium trioxide (CrO?) and chromium (II) oxide (CrO) in water. Chromium trioxide forms strong chromic acid increasing hydronium ions, while chromium (II) oxide has weaker oxidizing properties, resulting in a less acidic solution.

In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of evolutionary adaptations in heme-containing proteins.

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 complex challenges scientists face when attempting to extract respiratory complexes from the inner mitochondrial membrane for an in-depth study of their properties and functions."

Explore the reaction between alanine and glycine, two amino acids, and unravel whether this process results in multiple reaction products. We'll delve into the intriguing world of peptide bond formation and examine the potential diversity of products that may emerge from this biochemical reaction."

We categorize elements into representative, transition, inner-transition, and noble gases based on their positions in the periodic table and general characteristics, without revealing specific element classifications.
