CHM 356: Organic Chemistry II

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.

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

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.

Dive into the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter understanding how atoms and molecules possess kinetic energy which we measure as temperature. Explore the five core assumptions including the constant random motion of gas particles and the relation between kinetic energy and temperature. Demystify the concepts of particle collisions intermolecular interactions and the universal behavior of gases at given temperatures

Learn how to create Lewis structures for various molecules and assign charges where needed. Understand the molecular connectivity and electron distribution.
