CHEM 243: Organic Chemistry III

Discover how to calculate specific rotations of samples using a polarimeter in this informative chemistry tutorial. Explore optical activity and learn step-by-step calculations for two real-world examples. Enhance your understanding of specific rotation and its application in chemical analysis.

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

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.

Explore the chemical reaction between Aluminum and Iron (III) Oxide commonly used in welding. Learn to calculate the mass of Aluminum Oxide formed and identify the excess reagent. Dive deep into molar mass conversions stoichiometry and real-world applications in this chemistry tutorial.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.
