CHEM 121: Principles of Chemistry I

Unravel the reaction of chromium and oxygen forming chromium(III) oxide. Examine different scenarios to determine the limiting reactant using stoichiometric ratios. Understand how to predict product amounts through these calculations.

Explore the intriguing contrast between Pentanol and Hexane's viscosity at 20 degrees Celsius. Uncover how molecular interactions influence a liquid's 'thickness' and discover why similar molecular weights can lead to vastly different substance properties

Explore the properties of various molecules like diazene, hydrogen peroxide, and carbon tetrafluoride. Understand the influence of molecular shape and electronegativity on polarity. Discover why some are polar while others are nonpolar based on their structure.

Learn about mass changes in an iron bar when exposed to moist air, including the formation of rust (Fe?O?) and how to calculate the final mass.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.

Determine the molarity of a NaOH solution through titration with sulfurous acid. Starting with the ideal gas equation we derive the concentration of a 0.200L SO?-derived H?SO? solution. Concluding with a molarity of 1.64 M for NaOH using calculated values.
