CHEM 140: Introductory Chemistry

Learn how to find the density of silver using weight and water displacement. A step-by-step guide to a common laboratory technique.

Explore the reactivity of different bases in this chemistry comparison. We'll analyze the strength of H?S?, CH?O?, CH?OH, Cl?, CH?COO?, and CH?CHClCOO? in various reactions.

Explore the fascinating discovery of a glucose polymer with alternating glycosidic linkages. We'll visualize its Haworth projection and investigate its potential role in organisms, pondering whether it primarily serves a structural or energy storage function. Additionally, we'll discuss which types of organisms might utilize this unique polysaccharide as a potential food source.

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.

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.

We categorize elements into representative, transition, inner-transition, and noble gases based on their positions in the periodic table and general characteristics, without revealing specific element classifications.
