Topic: Kinetic Molecular Theory
This episode on kinetic molecular theory (KMT) explains gas behavior through five fundamental postulates. These are: gas molecules are in constant, random motion; they have negligible volume; there a…
Topic: Ideal Gas Law
This episode explains the Ideal Gas Law as a universal equation that combines all the individual gas laws. It introduces the equation's components—pressure (P), volume (V), moles (n), the universal g…
Topic: Gas Laws (Part 2)
This episode explains three additional gas laws including the unifying Combined Gas Law. It first introduces Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperat…
Topic: Gas Laws (Part 1)
This episode explains two fundamental gas laws: Boyle's Law and Charles's Law. It explains that Boyle's Law describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature, usi…
Topic: Solution Stoichiometry
This episode explains how to perform solution stoichiometry using molarity as the key conversion factor. It breaks down the process into a simple flow: use molarity to convert solution volume to mole…
Topic: Gas Stoichiometry (Non-Standard Conditions)
This episode explains how to perform non-STP gas stoichiometry using the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT). It emphasizes that this method is crucial for real-world applications where gases are not at standard …
Topic: Gas Stoichiometry at STP
This episode explains how to use gas stoichiometry at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). It defines STP as 0°C and 1 atm, where one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. The episode demon…
Topic: Excess Reactants
This episode explains how to calculate excess reactants, which is the amount of unreacted substance left over after a chemical reaction. It emphasizes that you must first identify the limiting reacta…
Topic: Limiting Reactant
In this episode the concept of limiting reactants is explained, which determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction. Using a sandwich analogy, it defines the limi…
Topic: Stoichiometry (Using BCA Tables)
This episode is the final episode in the introduction to stoichiometry series. It introduces BCA tables (Before, Change, After) as an alternative, visual method for solving stoichiometry problems. It…
Topic: Stoichiometry (Gram-to-Gram)
This episode focuses on gram-to-gram stoichiometry, a practical skill for converting between the masses of different substances in a chemical reaction. They explain a three-step process: convert the …
Topic: Stoichiometry (Mole-to-Mole Conversion)
This episode introduces stoichiometry, the calculation of quantities in chemical reactions. This is part 1 in a 3 episode series. This first episode explains that the mole ratios from a balanced chem…
Topic: Percent Yield and Percent Error
This episode simplifies the concepts of percent yield and percent error. It explains that percent yield measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction by comparing the actual amount of product obtain…
Topic: Double Displacement Reactions
This episode explains that double displacement reactions involve two compounds trading ions, following the pattern AB + CD → AD + CB. These reactions require a driving force to occur, such as the for…
Topic: Single Replacement Reaction
This episode explains that single replacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound, following the pattern A + BC → AC + B. The outcome is determined by the activity series, a…
Topic: Types of Reactions
In this episode, the five main types of chemical reactions are explained as a way to predict chemical behavior. A synthesis reaction combines two or more reactants into one product, while decompositi…
Topic: Balancing Chemical Equations
This episode explains that balancing chemical equations is crucial because it upholds the Law of Conservation of Mass, ensuring the same number of atoms on both sides of a reaction. The process invol…
Topic: Avogadro's Number
This episode discusses Avogadro's number, which represents the number of particles in one mole. It explains that this number is the key to converting between the number of particles and a substance's…
Topic: Empirical Formula
This episode explains how to find a compound's empirical formula—the simplest whole-number ratio of its elements. It presents a four-step method: (1) convert mass or mass percent to moles, (2) divide…
Topic: Combustion Analysis
This episode discusses combustion analysis, a method for determining an organic compound's empirical formula by burning it completely and analyzing the products. They explain that all the carbon beco…
