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.

Raindrops and snowflakes generally start to form around something else in the air, like a speck of dust, but sometimes that something else is bacteria.

In the world of chemistry, an "organic" compound is often described as anything with carbon in it, and "organic chemistry" is the study of carbon compounds, but there is actually no single definition of what "organic" means in chemistry,...

What is Inorganic Growth in a business venture? Inorganic growth is growth from buying other businesses or opening new locations. Meanwhile, organic growth is internal growth the company sees from its operations, often measured by...

Carbon-based molecules are the basis of life as we know it. Molecules like lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates that make up all living things have one thing in common - carbon.

An inorganic chemical element necessary for human growth and health, such as iron, sodium, potassium, or magnesium.

Nitric Oxide Synthase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Mechanism

The video explains how to prepare a soluble salt using acids and alkalis. The presenter explains the concept of titration and its importance in determining the exact amount of acid required to neutralize a base. Through the process of...

This video discusses three different methods that can be used to determine the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. The speaker explains the importance of oxygen and its role in respiration, burning fuels, and obtaining useful products...

In this video, the presenter demonstrates two tests for water - one that tests for the presence of water and another that tests for the purity of water. The first test involves heating hydrated copper sulfate crystals which turn white...

In this video, the presenter explains how to prepare soluble salts using insoluble reactants. They use the example of zinc oxide as the insoluble base and demonstrate the steps involved in reacting it with an acid to produce zinc...

Catalase Physiology, Biochemistry, and Inorganic Mechanism

So far we've learned a lot about general chemistry and organic chemistry, so let's move into inorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. In this series we will investigate all the elements on the periodic table that were ignored in...

Molar Susceptibility: Determining Unpaired Electrons

Superoxides and Superoxide Dismutase: Physiology, Biochemistry, and Inorganic Mechanism

The video discusses solubility rules and how to determine whether a salt or compound is soluble or insoluble in water. State symbols are introduced as a way to determine the state of chemicals or species in a reaction. The video then...

The video discusses the composition of air, specifically the gases nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. The presenter explains how these gases react with certain compounds and how they can be made from other substances. The video...

Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) 4: Low-Spin Example

The video is a tutorial on how to test for the presence of ammonia by converting ammonium ions into ammonia using sodium hydroxide, and then detecting the ammonia gas by using damp red litmus paper as an indicator. The video explains...

This video discusses the various tests that chemists use to identify different gases like hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, chlorine, and ammonia. The presenter demonstrates each test using simple equipment like test tubes, splints, and...
