In this module you will learn about thermodynamics or energy of a system and the four laws of thermodynamics. You will learn about enthalpy, chemical bonds, endothermic and exothermic reaction, and enthalpies for different types of reactions like combustion, atomization, and enthalpy of a solution. You will also learn about Hess’s law and step-by-step procedure to determine the overall enthalpy of a reaction, and examine the enthalpies of reversible and non-reversible reactions.

Learn about rate of reactions, steps required to determine the reaction rates, andrate law. This module will help you understand the different factors that affect the rate of reaction, the effect of concentration, pressure, particle size, catalysts, and temperature on reaction rate. You will be able to learn the different methods to determine the rate law or order of the reaction using concentration-time data and interpret data obtained from experiments concerned with rate of reaction.

Learn about redox reactions, steps to determine the oxidation number of chemical compounds. This module will help you define oxidation and reduction (redox) in terms of oxygen/hydrogen gain/loss and electron transfer, and learn how to balance redox reaction. Learn how to predict spontaneity of redox reaction and steps to determine standard reduction potential.

Learn the properties and types of acid-base, ionization/ dissociation strength, buffer solution, equilibrium constant, pH/ pOH of solution and steps to solve acid – base neutralization reactions. You will learn about the chemical basis of acid strength and the pH measurement, and learn to describe the behaviors of conjugate acid-base pairs. This course will explain how. Dissociation affects ionic compounds and teach you how solve specific acid-base reaction problems.
