CHEM 11107: Experimental Principles of Chemistry

Discover how to calculate specific rotations of samples using a polarimeter in this informative chemistry tutorial. Explore optical activity and learn step-by-step calculations for two real-world examples. Enhance your understanding of specific rotation and its application in chemical analysis.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.

Discover the incredible speed of light as it zips 7.5 times around Earth in just a second! Marvel at its daily and yearly travels, equating to billions and trillions of kilometers. Dive deeper into the concept of a 'light year' and its significance in astronomical measurements.

This video breaks down the process of calculating the time and number of photons required to boil water in a microwave. Using given power, wavelength, and water specifics, we determine both energy needs and photon count.

Discover the simple yet essential method for counting the number of oxygen atoms in different molecular sets, including molecules and ions.

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.
