Description
In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains how stoichiometry can be used to quantify differences in chemical reactions. The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation express the mole proportions in that reaction. These values can be used to predict the expected values, determine the limiting reactant, predict the molar mass of gases, determine the percent yield, and interpret results from a titration.--Publisher.

In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains important concepts that cannot be explained by simple Mendelian genetics. He begins with a discussion of polygenic inheritance and uses a simulation on height to show how a bell shape curve of phenotypes is produced. He then discusses the importance of linked genes and those that are found on the sex chromosome. A simple punnett square showing the inheritance of the color blind gene is included.--Publisher....

Description
In this video lesson, Paul Andersen explains how gases differ from the other phases of matter. An ideal gas is a model that allows scientists to predict the movement of gas under varying pressure, temperature, and volume. As a gas approaches condensation, some of the ideal gas laws fall apart. A description of both the kinetic molecular theory and Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution are included.--Publisher.
