CHEM 102: Chemistry

In biochemistry, polymers are essential macromolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, each adopting specific shapes and performing vital functions within cells, with proteins serving diverse roles, nucleic acids carrying genetic information, catalysis expediting reactions, and the genetic code enabling protein synthesis.

Learn the steps to make a 2.5 L of 0.100 M KCl solution from a 5.5 M stock solution in this easy-to-follow tutorial.

Explore the concept of bond energy with the H-Cl bond as a prime example. Delve into the energy dynamics of bond breaking (endothermic positive ?H) versus bond formation (exothermic negative ?H). Understand how the magnitude remains consistent but signs differ based on energy absorption or release.

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.
