Join us in this video as we dive into the intricacies of calculating the net ATP yield from oleic acid (18:1 ??). We'll provide a step-by-step guide and offer helpful hints to ensure an accurate calculation, including a critical step that bypasses acyl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Explore the chemical structures of four distinct ethers: ethyl propyl ether dibutyl ether methyl hexyl ether and dipentyl ether. Understand the role of ether groups which involve an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Learn how to write nuclear equations for positron emission with Co-55, Na-22, and F-18. Explore the fascinating world of nuclear reactions.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
