CHEM 114: General Chemistry 1

Discover how to calculate specific rotations of samples using a polarimeter in this informative chemistry tutorial. Explore optical activity and learn step-by-step calculations for two real-world examples. Enhance your understanding of specific rotation and its application in chemical analysis.

This video provides insights into determining the acid strength of various isomers by examining the ease of proton removal and the stability of the resulting anion. By comparing Propanamine to Trimethylamine and Methoxyethane to Propanol, we determine which compounds are more acidic.

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.

Explore the art of constructing Lewis dot structures for ionic compounds such as SrO Li2S CaI2 and RbF. Understand the electron transfer process by diving into each atom's valency and its role in compound formation. Unpack the intricacies of ionic interactions for a deeper chemistry insight.

The electron transport chain (ETC) is a critical process in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, involving the transfer of electrons and protons through a series of protein complexes and molecules to create an electrochemical gradient, ultimately producing ATP with molecular oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

We explore Lewis structures, which depict atom bonding and lone electron pairs. We create Lewis structures for potassium, barium, aluminum, and bromine by using group numbers in the periodic table to determine their valence electrons.
