CHEM 131: Quantum Principles

Explore the differences between physical and chemical properties in substances. Learn some fundamentals of chemistry and understand how substances interact and change.

Uncover the nuances of the CO? molecule's polarity and its electron dynamics. Understand how bending and stretching motions influence its electron density. Grasp the analogy of CO? to a jumping rope, highlighting its overall nonpolar nature.

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

This video explores molar concentration (molarity) and demonstrates the calculation of oxygen's molar concentration in water at 25°C, considering a partial pressure of 0.22 atm by employing Henry's Law and the given Henry's Law constant for oxygen, revealing that under these conditions, there are 2.86 x 10?? moles of oxygen per liter of water, highlighting the significance of understanding these concepts for managing gas dissolution in liquids across varying circumstances.

Determine the molarity of a NaOH solution through titration with sulfurous acid. Starting with the ideal gas equation we derive the concentration of a 0.200L SO?-derived H?SO? solution. Concluding with a molarity of 1.64 M for NaOH using calculated values.

Explore the method to determine the equilibrium constant for a reaction between iron III ions and thiocyanate ions. Learn to deduce equilibrium concentrations from initial values and reaction stoichiometry. Grasp the importance of the equilibrium constant value of 325.1 in assessing the reaction's favorability.
