Explore the power of chemical names and symbols in deciphering copper compound formation at each step of the copper cycle, with an illustrative example.
Protons reveal electron count in atoms. Which statement applies?
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
In this video, we explore the information that knowledge of the number of protons in a neutral element's atom can provide. Options for determining neutron count, electron count, and identifying the element's name are examined, with a conclusion that it allows us to know both the number of electrons and the element's name.
Calculate a Building's Age Using Nickel-63 Decay

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.
Determining Mass Percent Concentration of Solutions

This instructional video demonstrates the process of calculating the mass percent of various solutions, using the formula "mass of solute divided by mass of solution, all multiplied by 100%." It provides step-by-step calculations for three different solutions, revealing the concentration of each solute in terms of mass percent, offering a practical understanding of quantifying solute proportions in solutions.
Chromium Oxides: Acidity Comparison in Water
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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.
