CHEM 2124: Chemistry 1

Join us in this video as we dive into the intricacies of calculating the net ATP yield from oleic acid (18:1 ??). We'll provide a step-by-step guide and offer helpful hints to ensure an accurate calculation, including a critical step that bypasses acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

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

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.

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.

Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes using common examples. Understand how sugar reacts in various scenarios, and how metals undergo changes, either maintaining their substance or forming new compounds.

Discover the importance of calculating percent error to assess the precision of experiments. Through real-world examples like measuring alcohol's density and the mass of gold, learn how this value offers insights into measurement accuracy and ways to refine methods.
