The Moon is typically 380,000-ish kilometers from the Earth, so it doesn't seem like they have that much of a direct influence on one another. However, the presence of hematite on the lunar surface suggests our planet is causing the Moon...

Scientists are turning to unusual places to find new compounds to fight off drug-resistant “superbugs.” The discovery came from milking ferocious mammals!

We use magnesium and blocks of dry ice to show how a redox reaction occurs. A cavity in a block of dry ice is filled with coils of magnesium ribbon, which are set alight. A second block is then placed on top, but instead of this putting...

Fatty Acid Synthesis Pathway Lesson: Where it happens, how it happens and why it happens.



Hey everyone! In this lesson you will learn about the fatty acid synthesis pathway, including an in-depth overview of the pathway, where...

In this video, we will look at the chemistry behind the production of iron from iron ore. In early Earth history, iron, like all other metals, would have been found as an element in the crust of the planet. Later when plants evolved that...

In this video, we will learn how to write half equations for simple redox reactions. A half-equation shows what happens at one of the electrodes during electrolysis, so we need to be able to complete and balance half-equations for these...

It illustrates the method of balancing redox reactions using oxidation number method and half reaction method.
