Magnesium may be all the rage as a sleep aid, but does it actually work? We decided to dive into the research to find out, and ended up learning a lot about mice along the way.

As we look towards longer missions to the Moon, the shear amount of resources needed to survive becomes a much bigger question. Without space semi-trucks to haul life-giving resources to astronauts, can we utilize the Moon’s barren...

Explains irreversible reactions that proceed to completion and precipitation reactions where insoluble solids form from solutions

Lattice energy depends on ion size, charge, and the arrangement of ions in the crystal lattice. Smaller, highly charged ions increase lattice energy.

Whether we look at the mass, Mr or number of atoms, the mass is always conserved in chemical reactions. However, it may sometimes appear as if the mass changes if some of our reactants or products are gases. We can fix this problem...

Magnesium is considered one of the essential minerals that is involved in more than 300 different body processes, including keeping your heart beating and maintaining electrical stability of your nervous system. Magnesium is used by the...

The video discusses the conservation of mass in chemical reactions and the application of this principle in calculating the mass of reactants and products. It also explores the features of chemical equations such as balancing and state...

This video explains different chemical reactions used for extracting metals from their oxides. The video starts with the simple method of reduction with carbon for metals such as iron, where the metal oxide is reduced, and carbon is...

Giant ionic structures also have exceptionally high melting points. This is because the electrostatic interactions between the ions are very strong. Mg2+ and O2- ions have double the number of charges on their ions than Na+ and Cl- ions...

The video is a lecture presentation on the topic of neutralization and salt production. The presenter discusses the reactions between acids and bases, and demonstrates examples of reactions between different types of acids and bases,...

This program covers part 3 of the very important topic of the atomic theory of matter. We discuss how atoms combine together to form new compounds. Students review the law of conservation of mass and how the mass of the substances at the...

Learn the basics about the differences between different chemical structures, including giant covalent, giant ionic and metallic structures. There are numerous materials and substances that possess giant chemical structures. Some are...

This video is a tutorial on balancing chemical equations. The presenter discusses the law of conservation of mass and the importance of balancing equations to determine the ratios of reactants and products. They explain the meaning of...

We know that within an ionic compound, the ions are held together by ionic bonds. What is the strength of those bonds, and what is the lattice energy possessed by the entire lattice? Can we compare two compounds and say which has the...

This video discusses mass changes in chemical reactions. The Law of Conservation of Mass is introduced, which states that atoms are not lost or gained during a chemical reaction. Two examples are given: the reaction of sodium with water...

In this video, we will explore the importance of magnesium, its properties, and its various applications in different industries. From being used in the aerospace and automotive industries for its lightweight and durable properties, to...

The video explains the process of finding the formula of a metal oxide through experimental means. The presenter explains two methods of determining the formula - forming the metal oxide from the metal and reducing the metal oxide to...

This video explains the concepts of oxidation and reduction in chemistry. The presenter explains the meaning of state symbols and how to identify oxidation and reduction in chemical reactions. The video also covers the topic of half...

The program offers a brief review of ions. Students will learn what determines the charge on an ion and how ionic bonds are formed. Viewers will come to understand that ionic bonds form due to electrostatic attraction between two ions...
