CHEM 232: Organic Chemistry 1

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.

Unpack the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative observations. Examples include a person's weight on the Moon and the depth a hand pump can reach. Learn why precise measurements are crucial in scientific studies.

Explore how to calculate the theoretical yield of TiCl? in moles based on different initial quantities of reactants in the chemical equation Ti + 2 Cl? ? TiCl?.

This video focuses on unit conversions and the practical use of conversion factors to translate quantities between different units. It provides clear examples of converting 70 kilograms to pounds, translating 14 billion years into seconds, changing the height of a basketball player from feet and inches to meters, and converting cubic meters to liters, illustrating the importance of this skill in various scientific and everyday scenarios.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.
