CEM 151: General and Descriptive Chemistry

Discover how to precisely calculate mass, moles, formula units, and atoms in various compounds. Understand the concept with examples like chromium(III) sulfate decahydrate, dichlorine heptoxide, and lithium sulfate. Master chemistry calculations through a step-by-step guide.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts

Explore the reaction between alanine and glycine, two amino acids, and unravel whether this process results in multiple reaction products. We'll delve into the intriguing world of peptide bond formation and examine the potential diversity of products that may emerge from this biochemical reaction."

Learn how the ideal gas equation is derived from Boyle's law, Charles’ law, and Avogadro's principle, unraveling the fundamentals of gas behavior.

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole

Learn how to calculate the amount of Barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)?, needed to prepare a specific molar concentration. This tutorial breaks down the relationship between moles of hydroxide ions and moles of Ba(OH)?, guiding users through each step for precise results. Embrace the essence of molarity in solution preparation.
