CHEM 1151: Survey of Chemistry I

Unlock the world of chemical formulas and their atom ratios. Learn to write compounds like CaI?, N?O?, SiO?, and ZnCl? in this chemistry tutorial.

Explore the fascinating discovery of a glucose polymer with alternating glycosidic linkages. We'll visualize its Haworth projection and investigate its potential role in organisms, pondering whether it primarily serves a structural or energy storage function. Additionally, we'll discuss which types of organisms might utilize this unique polysaccharide as a potential food source.

The kinetic molecular theory of gases describes the random motion and speed distribution of gas molecules in a container, and when considering various statements about the average speeds of these molecules, it's important to understand how they behave under different conditions.

Explore the power of chemical names and symbols in deciphering copper compound formation at each step of the copper cycle, with an illustrative example.

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.

In this video, the problem involves calculating the mass of magnesium oxide (MgO) produced when 14.8 liters of oxygen gas react with magnesium metal according to the chemical equation 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO. The stoichiometric relationship is used to determine that 0.6607 moles of oxygen gas results in 1.3214 moles of MgO, with a final calculation yielding a mass of 53.25 grams of MgO formed during the reaction at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).
