CHEM 122: General Chemistry 2

The kinetic molecular theory of gases describes the random motion and speed distribution of gas molecules in a container, and when considering various statements about the average speeds of these molecules, it's important to understand how they behave under different conditions.

Learn how to draw open-chain structures for various sugars, from ketotetrose to amino sugars. This video offers visual demonstrations of ketopentose, deoxyaldohexose, and more, highlighting key molecular differences.

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.

Explore the properties of various molecules like diazene, hydrogen peroxide, and carbon tetrafluoride. Understand the influence of molecular shape and electronegativity on polarity. Discover why some are polar while others are nonpolar based on their structure.

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.

Discover how to calculate the nutritional energy in a bag of chips, and learn the science behind converting excess energy into body fat.
