CHM 217: Principles of Chem Lab I

Explore the environmental impact of sulfur dioxide production, revealing how 26 million tons of this compound conceal 13 million tons of sulfur. It delves into the chemistry of this transformation, converting atomic and molecular masses, providing valuable insights into emissions from activities like burning coal and auto exhaust."

Discover how to determine the final temperature of a water sample after heat absorption. Utilizing the concept of specific heat capacity and the formula q = mc?T, we calculate the change in temperature and reveal its new state. Experience the transformation from an initial tepid state to a drastically altered thermal condition.

We explore the impact of increasing the concentration of ethylene glycol in an antifreeze mixture, explaining the resulting effect on the freezing point of the solution by examining its interaction with water molecules.

Explore the intriguing process of determining the vapor pressure of a urea-water solution at 35°C. Using Raoult's law we'll calculate the mole fraction of water and urea leading to the solution's vapor pressure. Learn how the solution's composition affects vapor-pressure lowering

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts

Delve into the journey of scientific ideas as we discuss how a hypothesis can evolve into a theory, and whether a theory can ever become a law. Uncover the distinctions and connections between these fundamental elements of scientific understanding in this illuminating video.
