CHEM 101: Chemistry 101

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 video delves into the fundamental concept of conjugate bases in the context of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, explaining how when acids donate protons, they transform into their respective conjugate bases. This understanding is exemplified through the specific reactions of various compounds, illustrating how each Brønsted acid, upon proton donation, gives rise to its corresponding conjugate base.

Discover how to determine the density of mineral oil and a metal ball bearing using a graduated cylinder. Learn the method of calculating the mass difference and volume to deduce the density and radius of the ball. Watch a detailed physics experiment explained step by step.

Explore the concept of the degree of unsaturation in hydrocarbons. Understand its importance in revealing double bonds, triple bonds, or rings. Learn through examples like limonene, squalene, and lycopene.

This video offers insights into the properties and boiling points of different alcohols and ethers, including antifreeze agents like ethylene glycol. We also discuss how molecular structures and interactions impact boiling points, shedding light on key differences among related compounds.

In this tutorial, we break down the principle of density, illustrating it as a measure of mass per unit volume. Using an osmium cube as a practical example, we walk viewers through the steps of computing its density, demonstrating the interplay between mass, volume, and particle arrangement.
