CHM 340: Biochemistry I

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.

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
