Organic Chemistry Review Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2 Reactions

Organic Chemistry may have a bad reputation,,, but its actually quite simple. Something I notice alot of students struggle with in Ochem 1 is Sn1, Sn2, E1 and E2 reactions. First off, Lets define two types of reactions, A) substitution reactions and B) Elimination reactions Substitution reactions occur when an Alkyl Halide reactes with a [...]

Precipitation Reactions

A precipitations reaction is a reaction where a precipitate (or solid) forms upon mixing two solutions. Here is a video of a precipitate reaction You can predict the result of a precipitation reaction by understanding that only insoluble compunds will form a precipitate. If the precipitation reaction is between two solutions containting soluble compounds, the [...]

Chemistry -Limiting Reactant, Theoretical Yeild, and Percent Yeild

The Limiting Reactant– this is the reactant which is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. It limits your reaction therefore limiting the amount of product. The reactant in excess– This is any reactant in which you have a quantity greater thant that required to completey react with the limiting reactant The theoretical yeild– this is [...]

Chemical Bonds

Here are a couple chemical bonds, and their descriptions. Ionic Bonds: This is when a metal and a non metal ineract. During this interaction, the metal transfers one or more of its electrons to the non-metal. After the metal loses its electron(s) it becomes positively charged, and the non metal becones negatively charged. The term [...]

Moles, and molarity

Ok so yes this is very basic but I am just going to review what a mole is and what molartiy is. First off 1 mole is a number and it is equal to 6.022*10^23 atoms. The magic of this number is that the mass of a mole of some particular molecule is equal to [...]
