Quantifying Atoms Molecules & Moles: A Comprehensive Chemistry Guide
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Grasp the fundamental concept of moles in chemistry by equating it to the universally understood notion of a dozen. This video breaks down the usage of Avogadro's constant demonstrating calculations from moles to particles and vice versa. Using real-world examples like Carbon atoms Sulfur Dioxide molecules and Iron atoms viewers gain a clear understanding of moles and particle conversions
Lattice Energy: Always Positive; Hydration Energy: Always Negative
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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
