CHM 266505: Organic Chemistry

Uncover the distinct behaviors of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid in water. Learn about the complete ionization of strong acids and the partial ionization of weak ones, emphasizing the differentiation in proton donation.

Understand the fundamental distinctions between pure substances and mixtures. Unpack the definitions and real-world examples of elements, compounds, homogeneous, and heterogeneous mixtures.

Learn how to determine the weight of white gas carried by a backpacker using its density. A valuable skill for hikers and campers.

This video discusses how the electronegativity of attached groups affects the strength of acids. Comparing pairs such as Chloroacetic vs Fluoroacetic and Acetic vs Nitroacetic acids, we highlight which is the stronger acid in each pair and why.

This video delves into the principles of gas behavior at standard temperature and pressure (STP) and how to determine the volume occupied by a given number of moles of gas under these conditions.
