CHEM 1310: General Chemistry

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.

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.

Unravel the concepts of 'Molar Solubility' and 'Solubility Product' to gauge salt solubility. Explore how Calcium Phosphate dissociates in solutions and calculate its unique Ksp value.

Explore the intricacies of reaction rates with varying concentrations of ethanol and tert-butyl bromide. Understand the principles of SN1 reactions and the impacts of temperature on rate acceleration. Grasp the core elements that influence and optimize chemical reactions in diverse applications.

Delve into the journey of scientific ideas as we discuss how a hypothesis can evolve into a theory, and whether a theory can ever become a law. Uncover the distinctions and connections between these fundamental elements of scientific understanding in this illuminating video.
