Molecular weight and formula weight calculations are key to understanding the specifics behind any MCAT reaction and experiment. This includes both atomic mass unit and grams per mole calculations. And maybe even the conversion from AMU to g/mol. This video shows you how to find molecular weight in AMUs, grams per mole, and formula weight […]
Introduction to Reactions and Stoichiometry in MCAT General Chemistry
Stoichiometry is part of MCAT Chemistry Content Category 4E. This video introduces the terms you will need for mastering this content category. Learn the distinctions between atoms, compounds, covalent bonds vs ionic bonds, molecular formula vs empirical, theoretical yield vs actual yield, and much more. (Watch on YouTube: Intro to Stoichiometry. Click cc for transcription.) Links […]
pH and Hydrolysis for Salts of Weak Acids and Bases in MCAT Chemistry
Video 8 is the final, and potentially most intriguing video in my MCAT Acid Base series. This video shows you how to identify salts that will result in an acidic, basic, or neutral solution. You’ll learn how to think about each ion to help you determine its effect on pH. (Click to watch on YouTube. […]
MCAT Chemistry Hybridization Review for sp3 sp2 and sp
Before you can really understand molecular and electronic geometries, you need to have a strong understand of why and how atomic hybridization occurs. The videos below are taken from my Organic Chemistry Basics tutorial series to help you make sense of sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization. Once mastered you’ll find the MCAT Chemistry: Electronic and Molecular […]
