CHEM 112: General Chemistry 1

Discover Rutherford's pivotal Gold Foil Experiment and its impact on atomic theory. Unveil the discrepancies with the Plum Pudding Model. Grasp the birth of the nuclear atom model through unexpected alpha particle deflections.

Discover the process to determine the quantity of ammonia (NH?) required to produce a specific amount of ammonium sulfate ((NH?)?SO?). Through a step-by-step explanation, learn the application of the balanced chemical equation and molar mass conversions. Transform theoretical chemistry into practical knowledge with this insightful guide.

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.

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.

Unpack the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative observations. Examples include a person's weight on the Moon and the depth a hand pump can reach. Learn why precise measurements are crucial in scientific studies.

This video delves into the significance of electron configurations in understanding an atom's chemical behavior. It examines and corrects inaccuracies in the electron configurations of Aluminium (Al), Boron (B), and Fluorine (F). For instance, the electron configuration for Aluminium is initially presented with an incorrect number of electrons in the 2p subshell, stressing the importance of adhering to the rules of electron configuration for precise atomic representation.
