General Chemistry Lessons With Mike
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2020
Hi everybody, hi. Mike here. My mission is to help you enjoy, or at least better tolerate, first-year college general chemistry.
I received my chemistry degrees from the University of Buffalo (horns up!), and I've been teaching college-level chemistry for twenty-six years and counting.
The Coronavirus pandemic led me to put my lessons up here for my students, so I might as well share them with the rest of the world.

Solids Part 3, Ionic Unit Cells
มุมมอง 872 ปีที่แล้ว
It's tomato season, and Mike asks some cherry tomatoes to give up their bodies to science so he can demonstrate the number of ions per unit cell.
The Gas Laws!
มุมมอง 1383 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, Mike walks us through the derivation and application of all the gas laws, including the Combined Gas Law, which was named after Charles W. Combined.
Graham's Law: Rates of Diffusion and Effusion of Gases
มุมมอง 1863 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, Mike walks us through the way gases behave in terms of their motion and how gases compare to each other in terms of their rates of motion, due to their relative masses. This relationship has coined the name "Graham's Law".
Three Ways to Improve Your Multiple Choice Test Scores!
มุมมอง 2633 ปีที่แล้ว
Multiple choice tests are unforgiving, but they aren't going away any time soon. In this video, Mike describes how you a student can improve your multiple-choice test results.
Strategies for Saving Money on Textbooks
มุมมอง 893 ปีที่แล้ว
Mike takes a break from grinding out chemistry lessons and shares his perspective on why textbook prices are so exorbitant and what students can possibly do to mitigate these costs. All the while, trying to contain his cynicism, but failing.
Esters and Amines
มุมมอง 2963 ปีที่แล้ว
In this lesson, Mike introduces the family of organic compounds called esters, and runs us through their naming, their synthesis, and how they touch our lives. Then, he briefly covers the nitrogen-containing family called amines.
Bond Energy Calculations
มุมมอง 1623 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, Mike leads us through the use of Bond Energy Calculations and how they may be employed to estimate the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction, without the use of that semi-complete enthalpy of formation table we learned about weeks ago.

Activation Energy and the Arrhenius Equation
And if we had an addition reaction, could we determine the odder and rates in the same way?
Sure! If provided with the concentrations vs. time, it shouldn't matter which type of reaction it is. Sounds like you are currently suffering through organic 1 or 2? Most addition reactions should be bimolecular, or second-order overall, first order with respect to each reactant (i.e. nucleophile and electrophile).
You are saving me from failing chemistry 2, I need a strong background in chem 1 and you are helping me so much!
Gah! Thank you!
this video is a gold mine thank you so much for this
Gah! You're welcome!
I have a trouble, what should i do, if i get non linear for 1st and 2nd orde? In firts trial i get 26% eror at first orde and get more than 26% eror at 2nd orde. Could i define that the orde is 1st orde ? Hopefully you see and help me to find a way 😢
Thank you so much for making this video, + the humor
Thank you, Mike! The Aleks platform and other TH-cam videos were far from helpful. It makes more sense to find the k values for two points with each integrated equation since these are constants. As well as list the y values for each order equation and look at the difference between two points to observe a constant change! My program had me calculating all of the integrated y-values and then trying to plot those by hand, and only afterward finding the k values by taking delta concentration change over delta time. I really thought this was the topic my mind was going to break and I would finally declare insanity! :)
Thank you for your comment! I tell my students at this very point it's basically the peak of the activation energy of general chemistry, part 2.
Hey wheres the rest of the series!!!
any resources
Sir , do you have any curriculum which we should teach in Chemistry II
I love this video so much
You’re awesome. So grateful you exist.
Thank you! That's the nicest thing I've heard all week! Going to try to crank out more videos in the near future.
Thank you very much sir 👏
Best chemistry teacher, Thanks a lot sir ✨️
poor larry
I know you don't have a ton of views on your videos, but I just want you to know that I personally love the way you teach, and your videos are very useful to me. Please keep it up!
Thanks for making these!!!
why not uploading on your experiment channel
You mean Science With Mike? I plan to produce some new videos soon!
@@generalchemistrywithmike Ya science with mike you make awesome videos sir
Problem is, we've pretty much blown up everything we can. Lol!
Thanks! This video was really helpful in helping me review for my chem final!
My calculator did not even have an answer button in it. So everytime I had an intermediate step answer in weak acid buffer calculations, I had to write them down on a paper. Ended up skipping more than half of pH, buffer calculations in the fear of running out of time. Guessed those answers. Got a 45/70. I’m pissed at the choice of my calculator
I still love my TI-30x. They are like, ten bucks!
Just completed my Gen Chem I final with a 97%!! I was looking for videos on how to prepare for Gen Chem II and I stumbled upon this video. Not only did I just subscribed, but I'll be watching your vids as I go through the next semester! Thanks Professor :3
DUUUUUDE!!!!! Those first 30 seconds were my exact thoughts!!!!!! :O

YOURE THE MAN MIKE
Taking my gen chem 1 final today. Going to watch this when I get home.
Good luck on your final!
You have really helped me Thank you very much ☺️😭❤️🥂
Hello! Do you happen to have a video explaining coordination complexes and transition metal naming? We are covering it in my chem 202 class and your explanations make alot of sense in my brain. Thank you in advance! Love all your videos!
My class started out the gate with o chem nomenclature >-< luckily I like o chem (and had your videos) lol
you sir earned my subscription.

Really enjoying this series as I prepare for Chem 2! Thanks!
Hey, thanks for savin' my buns in Gen Chem II!
Aww! You are welcome, Katie!
homeboy needs some SPREADSHEETS ;)
UwU
thank you so much sir, i was stuck on my assignments for hours, now i got it
taking this course next semester. wish me luck please
how'd it go?
Thank you for your videos! Im about to take Gen Chem 2 and it has been 5 years since I took Gen Chem 1 so you’ve been a great help! I’m a little confused by what you said with the definition of an isotope. You said “that it couldn’t have a different number of electrons or it wouldn’t be an atom.” How do we know that?
Hey there, Hypocritical. What I meant by that was this: If there is a different number of neutrons and protons, it is no longer an "atom", but a charged particle called an "ion". Congrats on leveling up to Gen Chem 2!
Only course I cried during labs lol
I'm sorry to read this. It is a very tough course, but in theory it should not make people cry!
@@generalchemistrywithmikeit was Chem 2; it was having to write out and balance the equation that expressed the experiment we were doing, with no examples done for us but maybe once. 😃 I like it when the teacher goes through every problem/every other problem step by step (on the chalkboard) at the end of the class, or at the next class, to see if you did it right and to show you how he did it. I am going through your lectures though. I appreciate them. I want to be able to talk to my college daughter who will be taking chem 2 next semester🙂
Great video, but at 11:24 I think that you meant to write P1/T1=P2/T2 not P1/T1=P2/V2
Good eye, Leonard. Ima fix it this weekend!
Glad I stumbled across this, it’s been maybe 2-3 years since I’ve taken (and didn’t pass) gen chem 2 in community college , and now I am in University caught up with my math pre reqs and I’m curious whether I should back track and take gen chem 1 to refresh at the University level? Or just try and relearn the concepts for gen chem 2 and take it again at the university level? (I’m afraid that the material might be more detailed or they will have stuff I’ve never seen before) what would you suggest? Thank you !!
Hi Abraham, thanks for your comment. I have a whole gen chem 2 playlist uploaded, and all the videos are in order. My suggestion would be to watch the first few videos on intermolecular forces, and see if you can hang.
We actually started off with kinetics week 1. I’m a little nervous but I did well in chemistry 1, hopefully it goes smooth. I do enjoy this subject.
You’re the best!
