CHEM 120: Chemistry

Discover the Intricate Checks and Balances in Protein Synthesis Fidelity: Join us in this video to unravel the two critical moments when the accuracy of protein synthesis is assured, shedding light on the 'how' and 'when' of this essential process.

Join us in this video as we debunk common misconceptions about the periodic table. We explore and clarify statements regarding atomic size, electron configurations, reactivity, and electron removal. Dive into the world of chemistry and gain a deeper understanding of the periodic table's fascinating principles.

In this analysis, we determine the composition of a solution prepared by dissolving 12.15g of nickel(II) nitrate in 175mL of water (density 1.00 g/mL). The mass percent of nickel(II) nitrate is found to be approximately 6.50%, and the mole fraction of nickel(II) ions in the solution is calculated as 0.00672.

Discover how to precisely calculate mass, moles, formula units, and atoms in various compounds. Understand the concept with examples like chromium(III) sulfate decahydrate, dichlorine heptoxide, and lithium sulfate. Master chemistry calculations through a step-by-step guide.

This explanation delves into the phenomenon where the reaction rate decreases over time due to the decrease in reactant concentration, resulting in fewer successful collisions and reactions, without revealing specific examples or findings.

Explore the fascinating process of calculating the mass of silicon in Earth's crust. Learn how to convert Earth's total mass to grams, determine the crust's mass percentage, and find the silicon's mass within the crust. Discover the scale of silicon's presence in our planet's outer layer.
