CHEM120 Week 5 Concepts: Redox and Organic Chemistry – Download For Revision And Score An A+ OXIDATION-REDUCTION Reduction and oxidation are intertwined concepts that are important to understand ing some of the most important chemical reactions in the human body. In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between these terms and the how to identify what chemicals in a reduction/oxidation reaction (redox reaction) are playing which parts. 1. Redox reactions involve a transfer of: ▪ Nucl...

CHEM120 Week 4 Concepts: The Ideal Gas Laws and Acid/Base Reactions- Download To Score An A+ PHYSICAL STATES OF MATTER In this section, we will discuss the Ideal Gas Laws. First, we will review the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Second, we will discuss the kinetic-molecular theory of gases, which explains why they are so unique compared to other states of matter. Finally, we will discuss gas law equations, and practice using them to solve for different parameters. This unit has many s...

CHEM120 Week 7 Concepts: Biochemistry – Download For Revision And Improve Your Grades LIPIDS In this concept, we will discuss one class of biological polymers called lipids or fats. You might be f amiliar with this class of biopolymers, which are found in butters and oils. We will discuss saturated and unsaturated fats, and what those terms mean for the molecule's structure as well as its properties at room temperature. 1. Which of the following is a source of lipids? • Sugar, fruits, and b...
