CHM 400: Advanced Chemistry for Engineers

Master metric unit conversions with step-by-step examples, including cm to meters, g to kilograms, cm to millimeters, and mL to liters.

Explore the complex challenges scientists face when attempting to extract respiratory complexes from the inner mitochondrial membrane for an in-depth study of their properties and functions."

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 process of determining the number of water molecules in a barium chloride hydrate. Through a reaction with sulfuric acid, the video highlights how to derive the formation of barium sulfate and its mass calculations. A comprehensive chemical analysis leads to finding the elusive 'x' value, revealing the water-to-salt ratio.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

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."
