- Carbon monoxide 1: an over-view
Carbon monoxide is formed when carbon-containing fuels burn in a limited supply of oxygen. US public service film about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. YouTube
- Carbon monoxide 2: oxygen transport around the body
How oxygen is transported around the body attached to haemoglobin. YouTube
- Carbon monoxide 3: carbon monoxide interfering with oxygen transport
Brief summary of the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, including the way it reacts with haemoglobin. YouTube
- Naming isomers of the alkanes
Neat little video aimed at IB chemistry, but chemistry is chemistry whichever exams you are taking. YouTube
- Alkanes and alkenes with bromine
Simple demonstration of the effect of liquid bromine on cyclohexane (as a saturated hydrocarbon) and cyclohexene (as an unsaturated hydrocarbon). The commentary states categorically that bromine does not react with saturated hydrocarbons. This is untrue. Bromine will react with saturated hydrocarbons, but only in the presence of UV light, and the reaction is slower. Under normal lab conditions (unless you are in direct sunlight), there isn't enough UV light to make the reaction happen anything like as fast as the reaction with the unsaturated hydrocarbon, but given time, it would react.

- Burning ethanol
Short video simply showing the clean blue flame that ethanol burns with. YouTube
- Oxidation of ethanol using acidified potassium dichromate(VI)
Heating flammable liquids with a naked flame is not good practice! YouTube
- Reactions of ethanoic acid
Reactions with sodium carbonate, magnesium and ethanol. At one point, the commentary mentions "glacial" ethanoic acid. That is a traditional term for concentrated ethanoic acid. Seriously old-fashioned, but covers what you need to know. YouTube
