You can balance equations and master the foundations of some of the more important types of reactions.
Another classic chemistry demo, but with an underlying explanation of dust explosions (the real thing you should be scared of instead of demon pumpkins.) Subscribe...
People love labeling stuff. As scientists go, chemists probably label less than most (don’t get me started on biologists…) but every now and then they get...
Oxidation states are the work-around chemists made so every compound can be considered in terms of actual or theoretical charge. Realistic? Not really, but very useful...
A brief introduction to a deep and rich vein of chemistry content. Oxidation-reduction reactions are the final driving force we will discuss in this series. Learn how...
Arrhenius figured out that acids can be thought of as H+ donors and bases could be thought of as OH- donors. What happens when you bring these two powerhouses together...
In this video, we’ll take another look at precipitation reactions, specifically the combination of lead (II) nitrate and sodium iodide. Practice makes perfect, so...
Got PPT? It is a question you’ll be asking yourself a lot soon. PPT stands for precipitate (or precipitation depending on whom you are talking to). Precipitation...
I have no idea why you do the things you do. But when it comes to chemical reactions, it is a lot easier. Driving forces motivate reactions to go produce products. So...
The bread and butter of a first year chemistry student. Balancing equations is actually a lot of fun, but you don’t have to admit you enjoy doing this, if...
