CHEM 455: Physical Chemistry

Understand the process of calculating percent composition using the molecular formula. Grasp the methodology with compounds like C2H4O2, CH2O2, and more. Discover how atomic masses influence the mass percent of elements in various compounds.

This video elucidates the method to sketch Lewis structures for the radical species ClF? and BrO?. Highlighting the distinguishing feature of an unpaired electron, we illustrate the bond arrangements and lone pairs that define these unique chemical entities.

The video offers an insightful look into the orthorhombic unit cell, a unique crystal lattice structure. By exploring nickel sulfate's unit cell and its specific dimensions, we determine both the number of formula units and the density of this crystalline structure.

Discover how to craft balanced, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various chemical reactions. Learn the significance of aqueous ions and solid state indicators in these equations.

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, it undergoes dissociation into its constituent ions. The total moles of ions released is determined by adding up the moles of each ion generated during this dissociation process. In the case of (a) disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na?HPO?), it dissociates into two sodium ions and one hydrogen phosphate ion. For (b) copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO? · 5H?O), it dissociates into one copper ion and one sulfate ion. In (c), nickel(II) chloride (NiCl?) diss

Explore the process of heat absorption and discover how to calculate the final temperature of a lead fishing weight after absorbing a specific amount of heat.
