see early post for a larger variety of tutorials/videos on balancing equations.

Stoichiometry:
Deals with the calculations about the masses of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. It allows us to know how much of an element or reactant to use and how much product is expected to come out of the reaction.

Chemical Reactions
Combustion Reactions:
These reactions occur when organic molecules react with oxygen gas (O2). This is also called burning. You need three things in order to burn something:

• a fuel (hydrocarbon)
• oxygen to burn it with
• Something to ignite the reaction (spark)

Products in the combustion are Carbon dioxide and H2O. Combustion is a type of oxidation reduction reaction.

Reactions of Organic Molecules

Hydrogenation is the reduction of alkenes. During Hydrogenation, the carbon atoms in an alkene are reduced because they gain hydrogen atoms.

Hydrolysis involves water that is used to split (lyse) a molecule. Esters undergo hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is one of the factors that determines the length of time that some drugs remain active.

Hydration of an Alkene. I

n a hydration reaction, water is added to a double bond.

Dehydration is the reverse of hydration. Water is removed from an alcohol to form a double bond (alkene)http://www.chemguide.co.uk/mechanisms/elim/dhethanol.html#top

GARRET LISI ON HIS THEORY OF EVERYTHING

Physicist and surfer Garrett Lisi presents a controversial new model of the universe that -- just maybe -- answers all the big questions. If nothing else, it's the most beautiful 8-dimensional model of elementary particles and forces you've ever seen.

CHEMISTRY PANIC

Returning to school after 25 years in the workforce. Hmmmm, it sure sounded like a good idea at the time:)

Yesterday was my first day of Chemistry. After arriving home, my husband says to me, "So my little student, how was your first day of class?" He, being of sound mathematical mind, was not going to understand that I wanted to actually run out of the room twice and pasted a smile on my face, nodding once and awhile like I understood what was happening throughout much of the class. I knew that I would have to spend lots of time at home understanding the concepts one at a time before I could build that foundation necessary for fully understanding the math required for Chemistry. I kept my fingers crossed and my head down, hoping that the professor would not call on me. Boy did it remind me of my earliest years in school:)

Having said all that, I will begin to do what I always do with challenging classes. I post a blog, find interactive websites, podcasts that I can listen to on my ipod, tutorials and videos that will assist me during the semester. Simply speaking...I will live and breathe Chem 108 for the next 16 weeks. If you want to live there too, and need a little extra help because your learning style may be a little different, please log on, post when you can, and send me links that you think may help. Along with tutoring, study groups and office hours with the professor, I think we can all get that A!

Good luck this semester everyone!
