CHM 101: General Chemistry I

Discover how to calculate the nutritional energy in a bag of chips, and learn the science behind converting excess energy into body fat.

Dive into the accuracy of four chemical reactions involving compounds like Barium Nitrate and Lithium Chloride. Discover which reactions yield precipitates which are correct and which need correction. A comprehensive review from Barium Sulfate formation to Lead Chloride precipitation

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole

Discover the process of naming acids based on their anions and oxidation states. This video breaks down the correct naming of HNO2(aq) by distinguishing its anion and determining its place in the world of mineral acids.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.

Explore the concept of the degree of unsaturation in hydrocarbons. Understand its importance in revealing double bonds, triple bonds, or rings. Learn through examples like limonene, squalene, and lycopene.
