CHEM 113: Introductory Chemistry

Uncover the distinct behaviors of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid in water. Learn about the complete ionization of strong acids and the partial ionization of weak ones, emphasizing the differentiation in proton donation.

This video provides insights into determining the acid strength of various isomers by examining the ease of proton removal and the stability of the resulting anion. By comparing Propanamine to Trimethylamine and Methoxyethane to Propanol, we determine which compounds are more acidic.

Learn the process of determining the density of a rectangular metal bar using its measurements. Understand how volume and mass play a crucial role in the calculation, and the importance of representing results with the correct number of significant figures

Discover the concept of the pseudo-noble gas configuration, differentiating it from the traditional noble gas configuration. Examine examples like tin and indium to illustrate how elements achieve this unique state of stability. Unpack the intriguing intricacies within atomic structures.

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.
