Complex

This short video looks at the alkaline catalysed hydrolysis of both simple and complex esters - the later making a soap in what is also known as a saponification reaction. The hydrolysis of ethyl ethanoate is shown first, followed by the hydrolysis (saponification) of tristearine. The next video in the series looks at how we determine the saponification value of a fat or oil.

This introductory video (in a series on metal complexes) explains and illustrates the important terms that you will encounter (e.g. complex, ligand, chelate and coordination number). It ends by outlining how the ligands actually bond into the metal’s atomic structure.

This video shows a more complex integration of electroplating and incorporates many of the equations and concepts learned in the electrochemistry series.
