CHEM 438: Analytical Chemistry

Explore the world of oxidizing and reducing agents in chemistry. Gain a clear understanding of what they are and how they function without delving too deep into the subject matter.

This video provides ground-state electron configurations for various elements, including germanium, iron, zinc, nickel, tungsten, and thallium, based on their atomic numbers.

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.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

Discover the monatomic ions formed by potassium and iodine in this informative chemistry tutorial. Learn how to determine ion charges based on atomic properties and their positions on the periodic table.

Explore the relationship between mass, density, and volume using real-life examples, including water, ethanol, chloroform, and balsa wood. Learn the process of calculating mass and uncover which substance has the highest mass based on given conditions.
