CHEM 260: Elementary Biochemistry

In this instructional video, we explore the conversion of various pressure units into atmospheres, covering mmHg, bars, Torr, and kPa. The process involves utilizing conversion factors to ensure accurate results for each unit. By the end, you'll have equivalent pressures in atmospheres for the given values, enhancing your understanding of pressure conversions.

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 how to determine the oxidation states of Chlorine in various ions using fundamental rules in chemistry. Learn the importance of oxidation numbers in understanding chemical reactions and the art of balancing chemical equations.

In this video we explore the process of calculating the weight percent of barium potassium and chlorine in a mixed sample of barium chloride dihydrate and potassium chloride. Through a step-by-step approach we examine the changes in sample weight after heating to 160°C breaking down the calculations for each elemental content.

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.
