CHE 07200: Organic Chemistry I

Explore the diverse structures of C?H?? alkyl groups and classify them into primary, secondary, or tertiary categories. Through a visualization of carbon atom arrangements, uncover the nuances of n-pentyl, sec-pentyl, tert-pentyl, isopentyl, and neopentyl structures.

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.

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.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.

Explore oxidation and reduction processes across four chemical reactions differentiating between acid-base and redox activities. Highlighting key substances and their roles in each reaction.

Explore the fascinating process of calculating the mass of silicon in Earth's crust. Learn how to convert Earth's total mass to grams, determine the crust's mass percentage, and find the silicon's mass within the crust. Discover the scale of silicon's presence in our planet's outer layer.
