CEM 161: Chemistry Laboratory 1

Explore the classification of select molecules based on their polarity. Understand the electron distribution and molecular shapes of Formaldehyde, Methanol, Dichloromethane, and Carbon dioxide. Discover which ones exhibit a net dipole moment and which ones don't.

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.

We'll guide you through the process of calculating the energy associated with X-ray photons when the wavelength is 0.154 nm. This video offers a practical application of physics and helps you understand the energy spectrum of X-rays. Whether you're a science enthusiast or a student, you'll gain valuable insights into this intriguing topic.

This video explores the processes of rusting in iron and burning a match, addressing whether the observed changes in mass violate the law of conservation of mass, and explains how these processes align with the law.

Explore the concept of bond energy with the H-Cl bond as a prime example. Delve into the energy dynamics of bond breaking (endothermic positive ?H) versus bond formation (exothermic negative ?H). Understand how the magnitude remains consistent but signs differ based on energy absorption or release.
