Nomenclature and Properties of Carboxylic Acids, Alcohols, Thiols, Ethers, Thioethers, Esters
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss nomenclature and properties of the following organic functional groups: 1. Carboxylic Acids 2. Alcohols 3. Thiols (Sulfur Alcohols) 4. Ethers 5. Thioethers 6. Esters Carboxylic Acids Carboxylic acids are a carboxyl group in their shape. I have highlighted the carboxyl group below: When we name these, we

Gas Refrigeration (aka Reverse Brayton/Bell Coleman/Reverse Joule) Cycle + Regenerative Cooling
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss the following topics: 1. Gas Refrigeration Cycle, otherwise known as the Reverse Brayton, Reverse Joule, or Bell Coleman Cycle 2. Equations 3. T-S Diagrams 4. Refrigeration Example 5. Regenerative Cooling VIDEO COMING SOON Notes and Assumptions: (a) This whole process is internally reversible. (b) There is no

Introduction to Refrigeration Cycles
Buy Clonazepam Online Overnight Today we are going to discuss refrigeration cycles! VIDEO COMING SOON What is the refrigeration cycle? The term refrigerate means to cool something down (to remove heat from something). By the second law of thermodynamics (which states that total entropy, or disorder, of an isolated system can never decrease over time), heat travels from areas

Further Nomenclature Rules
Now that we’ve covered basic substituents and alkane, alkene, and alkyne families in the previous posts, we will put it all together. Further functional families, such as ethers, carboxylic acids, amides and more, will be discussed in their own blog post. I haven’t introduced them yet to keep it simple, but they will mostly follow

Nomenclature and Properties of Aldehydes, Ketones, and Related Compounds
Today we will be discussing the following topics: 1. Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Dialdehydes 2. Properties of Aldehydes 3. Nomenclature of Ketones, Diketones and Cyclic Ketones 4. Properties of Ketones 5. Nomenclature of Ketenes 6. Properties of Ketenes Nomenclature of Aldehydes Aldehydes are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group (carbon double bonded to oxygen)

IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Substituents (cyclo, sec-, iso-, tert-, hydroxy, phenyl, etc)
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss naming different types of substituents on organic compounds, including both their name and drawing. Note that all substituents are highlighted in blue in the pictures below. Sometimes, some of these groups are not substituents, but rather they are the main functional family – it depends what other

Geometric Isomers, Cis/Trans/E/Z Naming of Alkenes
In today’s lesson, we will be discussing the following topics: 1. What are Isomers? What are Geometric Isomers? 2. Using Cis/Trans/E/Z to name Alkenes When we draw organic compounds on paper, it is really only half the story – we haven’t taken into account their 3D structure at all! The direction of bonds within two

Organic Nomenclature: Prefixes and Alkane, Alkene, Alkyne Families
In today’s lesson, we will be learning how to name and draw the following organic families (organic families are organic compounds that are categorized into “families” based on similar characteristics, such as having a carbon to oxygen bond, a double bond, a triple bond, a nitrogen group, or more), discussing homologous series, aliphatic vs aromatic

Intro to Scalars and Vectors, Vector Notations, Operations, Dot and Cross Product, Unit Vectors
In today’s video, we will be introducing scalars and vectors, as well as different vector forms, vector operations, and unit vectors. Scalars are just regular old numbers, like time (3PM) or distance (5 kilometers). Vectors have a number associated with them, but also a direction, like displacement (5 km [North]) or acceleration (6 meters/second [down]).

Ax=B Linear Systems, Gaussian vs. Gauss-Jordan Elimination, Rank and Pivot Positions
In today’s video, we will be discussing the following: 1. How to solve a system of equations using both Gaussian Elimination and Gauss-Jordan Elimination (including getting a matrix into Row Echelon Form (REF) and Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF)). 2. What is the rank of a matrix and how to find it. 3. What are
