CH 102: Chemistry

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.

This video delves into the fundamental concept of conjugate bases in the context of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, explaining how when acids donate protons, they transform into their respective conjugate bases. This understanding is exemplified through the specific reactions of various compounds, illustrating how each Brønsted acid, upon proton donation, gives rise to its corresponding conjugate base.

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.

Discover the art of writing balanced, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various chemical reactions. Learn the nuances that differentiate between these equations and watch them applied to diverse chemical reactants.

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.

This instructional video guides you through the process of determining the number of molecules in a given sample. It illustrates the conversion from grams to moles using the molar mass of the substance and then to molecules using Avogadro's number, providing a practical example with ethane (C?H?) to calculate approximately 6.67 x 10²¹ molecules in a 0.334 g sample.
