CHEM 1311: General Chemistry I

Discover Rutherford's pivotal Gold Foil Experiment and its impact on atomic theory. Unveil the discrepancies with the Plum Pudding Model. Grasp the birth of the nuclear atom model through unexpected alpha particle deflections.

Discover the process of determining the final temperature of an iron nail after heat absorption. Using the specific heat capacity of iron and the heat transfer formula, we calculate the temperature increase and reveal the nail's new thermal state. This tutorial offers a clear understanding of how materials respond to heat.

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.

This video guides you through calculating the theoretical yield of a product in moles for a given chemical reaction by identifying the limiting reactant. It explains how to determine the limiting reactant for different quantities of reactants and then calculates the corresponding moles of the product, ensuring an accurate theoretical yield estimation.

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it undergoes dissociation into its constituent ions. The total moles of ions released is determined by adding up the moles of each ion generated during this dissociation process. In the case of (a) disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na?HPO?), it dissociates into two sodium ions and one hydrogen phosphate ion. For (b) copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO? · 5H?O), it dissociates into one copper ion and one sulfate ion. In (c), nickel(II) chloride (NiCl?) diss
