CHEM 270: Survey of Organic Chemistry

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of peptidyl transferase, one of the most conserved sequences in biology. In this video, we delve into the implications and draw intriguing conclusions from its exceptional conservation across species.

This video focuses on unit conversions and the practical use of conversion factors to translate quantities between different units. It provides clear examples of converting 70 kilograms to pounds, translating 14 billion years into seconds, changing the height of a basketball player from feet and inches to meters, and converting cubic meters to liters, illustrating the importance of this skill in various scientific and everyday scenarios.

This explanation delves into the phenomenon where the reaction rate decreases over time due to the decrease in reactant concentration, resulting in fewer successful collisions and reactions, without revealing specific examples or findings.

This discussion delves into the use of acetone as a solvent for removing water from laboratory glassware, exploring the science behind its effectiveness and the role of hydrogen bonding in facilitating rapid evaporation.

This video explores the processes of rusting in iron and burning a match, addressing whether the observed changes in mass violate the law of conservation of mass, and explains how these processes align with the law.
