This video defines what a chemical reaction is and explains how chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter. Students will see real world examples of chemical reactions and come to understand that no matter is created or...

This video explains the concept of cellular respiration and the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It explains the word and chemical symbol equations for aerobic and anaerobic respiration, as well as the differences...

An introduction to nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

Obviously, gasoline and other fuels burn in the presence of fire. How does this occur? Here, we will explore the activation of oxygen to it excited singlet state and combustion of the hydrocarbon, octane. Join us here.<br/>

This video is a lesson on how to represent elements and compounds in terms of the atoms they can take. The video covers the definition of an element, the periodic table, chemical symbols, and formulas. It also explains how compounds are...

How does your body break down the food you eat to generate the energy you need to get through your day? What form of energy is this, anyway? Let's go over some of the basics of metabolic processes, and introduce ATP, the currency of...

Learn about acids and bases in song format! A great way to boost classroom engagement when introducing new topics.

ATP Synthase: Mechanism of ATP Synthesis

What exactly is Le Chatelier's Principle? And why is it important to learn it to understand chemical reactions? Find out in this video!

Learn the basics about making predictions using the reactivity series, as a part of metals and their reactivity within environmental chemistry.

Revealing the Hidden Colors of the Microcosmos

Enzymes are really important proteins, that speed up the rates of reactions such as in photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis. The enzymes and substrates are always moving, and occasionally they collide at the right speed and...

This video provides an overview of the element germanium. It describes the physical properties of germanium and its discovery by Clemens Winkler. The video also discusses the various uses of germanium, such as in semiconductors, optical...

What are enzymes? Why they're nature's little factory workers. They chop up certain things! They build up others! Pretty amazing the kind of chemistry nature can do given enormous polypeptide chains with unfathomable variability and...

In this video we examine the process of digesting our food. We shall see how biological catalysts called enzymes break these food molecules apart and why they are necessary. Think of our food molecules as a train of trucks all coupled...

Integrated Rate Laws (1/3): First Order Calculation

Through real world examples, students will come to understand that chemical reactions cause reactants to undergo changes, so the products have different properties. Viewers will learn about single displacement and double displacement...

Learn about Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Several examples of Newton’s Third Law Force Pairs are demonstrated and discussed. We even travel to Dandong, China.

Chemicals interacting with each other are one of the most fascinating topics in chemistry. Fireworks, burning flares, and rusting all illustrate chemical reactions. The different types of reactions are described, as well as the process...

How can we calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction without doing it? There are two easy ways! This is how we can make sure a reaction won't explode in our faces!

Chemicals interacting with each other are one of the most fascinating topics in chemistry. Fireworks, burning flares, and rusting all illustrate chemical reactions. The different types of reactions are described, as well as the process...

An exothermic reaction gives off energy to the surroundings; like a fire giving off heat. An endothermic reaction takes in energy from the surroundings; like a snowman melting. Exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings,...

How do we go from carboxylic acids to esters? Fischer esterification! How do we go from esters to carboxylic acids? Saponification! Let's get a closer look at these complementary processes now.
