CHEM 201: Chemical Process Principles and Calculations

This video shows how to determine the number of molecules in a given sample by utilizing the concept of moles, Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³), and the molar mass of the substance. It provides step-by-step calculations for different substances, converting mass to the number of molecules and highlighting the versatile application of this approach.

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.

Discover how amino acids, specifically glycine, form the foundation of proteins. Understand and visualize the Lewis structure representation of glycine. Grasp the significance of atomic bonding and electron distribution.

"Explore how altering concentrations and volume impacts the rate of an SN2 reaction between 1-bromopropane and sodium hydroxide. Learn the rate equation that describes this reaction and see real examples of how rate changes with concentration and volume adjustments

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.
