CHEM 233: Elementary Organic CHEM Lab I

Discover the process of determining a compound's molecular formula from its empirical formula and molar mass. Understand the calculations and reasoning behind deriving C?H? from the empirical formula CH? with a molar mass of 56.11 g/mol. Gain insight into fundamental chemistry concepts and computations.

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 shows how to determine the number of molecules in a given sample by utilizing the concept of moles, Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³), and the molar mass of the substance. It provides step-by-step calculations for different substances, converting mass to the number of molecules and highlighting the versatile application of this approach.

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.

In this instructional video, we explore the conversion of various pressure units into atmospheres, covering mmHg, bars, Torr, and kPa. The process involves utilizing conversion factors to ensure accurate results for each unit. By the end, you'll have equivalent pressures in atmospheres for the given values, enhancing your understanding of pressure conversions.

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.
