CHEM 407: Honors Seminar

Explore the distinct chemical formulas of various acids like phosphoric, hydrobromic, and sulfurous acids. Understand their practical applications, from flavoring agents to sanitization in brewing. Highlighting their unique molecular makeup, learn the critical roles they play.

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.

In this video, we classify substances as elements, compounds, or mixtures, with air and soy sauce as mixtures, iron as an element, and table salt as a compound.

Discover the difference between strong and weak electrolytes by understanding their ionization in water. Using nitrous acid and nitric acid as examples, this video provides chemical equations that visually distinguish the ionization behavior of these electrolytes.

Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes using common examples. Understand how sugar reacts in various scenarios, and how metals undergo changes, either maintaining their substance or forming new compounds.
