Intro to Balancing Redox Reactions

December 3, 2019 By Leah4sci

Balancing Redox Equations Stoichiometry Series by Leah Fisch

Balancing Redox Reactions is about more than just balancing atoms. Since oxidation and reduction involve the transfer of electrons, we also have to keep an eye on atoms and charge. Of course, if you’re wondering how redox reactions apply to the Galvanic/Voltaic or Electrolytic cell, visit my Electrochemistry series as well. Balancing Redox Equations Video […]

Calculating Oxidation Numbers in MCAT General Chemistry

May 24, 2019 By Leah4sci

Calculating Oxidation Numbers in MCAT General Chemistry

Oxidation numbers can be confusing, unless you think of it as charge (real or imaginary) associated with each specific atom in a complex molecule or polyatomic ion. Calculating Oxidation Numbers Video 1 – Oxidation Numbers This video shows you how to find and calculate oxidation numbers when given simple and complex molecules or ions. (Watch […]

Common Types of Chemical Reactions

July 2, 2019 By Leah4sci

While the MCAT will not test you directly on the different types of chemical reactions, you will be expected to know them as they show up in more complex questions, passages, and experiments. This video walks you through the common types of chemical reactions including Disproportionation, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, Combination or Synthesis, Decomposition, and […]

Empirical Formula and Molecular Formula Calculations

March 16, 2018 By Leah4sci

Stoichiometry & Reactions 3 play

Navigating through empirical formulas versus molecular formulas will help you in conversions, unknowns, and so many exam problems. This video explains the definitions, similarities, and differences between an atom’s empirical formula and its molecular formula. You will also see when the empirical and molecular formulas are the same, and a percent by mass example! (Watch […]
