CHEM 150: Chemisty I

This video discusses how the electronegativity of attached groups affects the strength of acids. Comparing pairs such as Chloroacetic vs Fluoroacetic and Acetic vs Nitroacetic acids, we highlight which is the stronger acid in each pair and why.

Learn how to determine the weight of white gas carried by a backpacker using its density. A valuable skill for hikers and campers.

Unraveling Molecular Structures: Explore the composition of compounds with molecular formulas CH4O, CH3Cl, C2H6, CH5N, C2F6, C2H5Br, and C3H8. Learn about their unique structures and properties.

Explore how to determine the oxidation states of Chlorine in various ions using fundamental rules in chemistry. Learn the importance of oxidation numbers in understanding chemical reactions and the art of balancing chemical equations.

In this video we explore the process of calculating the weight percent of barium potassium and chlorine in a mixed sample of barium chloride dihydrate and potassium chloride. Through a step-by-step approach we examine the changes in sample weight after heating to 160°C breaking down the calculations for each elemental content.

This video elucidates the method to sketch Lewis structures for the radical species ClF? and BrO?. Highlighting the distinguishing feature of an unpaired electron, we illustrate the bond arrangements and lone pairs that define these unique chemical entities.
