CHEM 211: Organic Chemistry I

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.

This video delves into the fascinating world of energy storage in animals and plants, offering insights into why fats are the primary energy storage compound in animals (except muscles) and why plants opt for alternative strategies instead of using fats and oils.

Unraveling HNO? Titration: Calculating [H?] Halfway with KOH. Harness the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH determination. Discover the pH at midpoint between weak acid and strong base titration.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

In this video, we explore the information that knowledge of the number of protons in a neutral element's atom can provide. Options for determining neutron count, electron count, and identifying the element's name are examined, with a conclusion that it allows us to know both the number of electrons and the element's name.
