CHEM 3300: Advanced Inorganic Lab

Explore the fascinating process of calculating the mass of silicon in Earth's crust. Learn how to convert Earth's total mass to grams, determine the crust's mass percentage, and find the silicon's mass within the crust. Discover the scale of silicon's presence in our planet's outer layer.

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.

Uncover the method to determine mass percentages of Sodium Bromide and Sodium Sulfate in a mixture using the given Sodium content. Walk through a step-by-step calculation leveraging molar masses to derive the composition. Discover the resulting mass percentages: 23.85% for Sodium Bromide and 76.15% for Sodium Sulfate

This video shows you how to balance equations from the reaction of lead(II) sulfide with hydrochloric acid to ammonia's interaction with oxygen. Understand the nuances of atom balancing and grasp the precise stoichiometric relationships.

This video explains the importance of the number of valence electrons in an element's chemical behavior and demonstrates how to determine the valence electrons for potassium, calcium, and aluminum based on their positions in the periodic table. Valence electrons dictate an element's reactivity with other elements, making this knowledge essential for understanding chemical reactions.

This video explores the processes of rusting in iron and burning a match, addressing whether the observed changes in mass violate the law of conservation of mass, and explains how these processes align with the law.
