Dr. Stephen Lukacs (October 2020)
Everything you've learned prior is about compounds and their stability. Now, we get into the meat of chemistry through chemical reactions and the proper amounts and proportions required for good reactions.
(October 2020) Reactions are the conversion of reactants or starting materials into final products. Balancing reactions ensure that whatever quantities enter the reaction process also exit. Just like cooking or mixing drinks, all things have a proper proportion and balancing reactions are simply those proper proportions to the natural mixture of atoms and molecules.
Practicing balancing reactions requires time, patience, and clear thought. So get cracking on this necessary tool.
(October 2020) In this PodCast, I take you through 10 example redox reactions.
(October 2020) I take you through 4 more very advanced redox problems.
(October 2020) Stoichiometry is simply the ratios of reactants and products in the balanced reaction. But those ratios can be extended to include very complex multi-step chemical conversions to answer very practical quantitative problems.
As you can see from this podcast, the mastery of some very important concepts and practices come into complete focus in this podcast, including, scientific number and notation, significant figures, conversions, density, stable molecular formulas and compounds, balancing reactions, molar mass and molecular weights, and moles.
