Instructional Videos for General Chemistry at Brooklyn College

This page provides links to instructional videos for General Chemistry courses at Brooklyn College. They mostly demonstrate techniques, and they are assigned to the first experiment in which those techniques are used. However, some of these techniques are used frequently during the laboratory sequence and it may make sense to review them even after you have used the technique once.


For all classes: This Calculator Video Demonstrates scientific notation on a calculator using the built-in functions. Always typing "x 10 ^ X" can get you the wrong answer.
