CHEM 3344: Biochemistry

In this video we explore the process of calculating the weight percent of barium potassium and chlorine in a mixed sample of barium chloride dihydrate and potassium chloride. Through a step-by-step approach we examine the changes in sample weight after heating to 160°C breaking down the calculations for each elemental content.

This discussion delves into the use of acetone as a solvent for removing water from laboratory glassware, exploring the science behind its effectiveness and the role of hydrogen bonding in facilitating rapid evaporation.

This discussion revolves around the classification of chemical bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or covalent based on the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved. The general criteria for this classification are explained: a difference greater than 1.7 indicates an ionic bond, between 0.5 and 1.7 signifies a polar covalent bond, and less than 0.5 designates a covalent bond. It then applies these criteria to four specific examples, including the CC bond in ethane (H?CCH?), the KI bo

We'll guide you through the process of calculating the energy associated with X-ray photons when the wavelength is 0.154 nm. This video offers a practical application of physics and helps you understand the energy spectrum of X-rays. Whether you're a science enthusiast or a student, you'll gain valuable insights into this intriguing topic.

Discover how to calculate the number of moles of hydrogen in different chemical samples, including H?O, NH?, N?H?, and C??H??.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
