Course consists of four units of different length and value.
Unit 1: From Kinetics to Equilibrium: Investigation of factors which affect the rates of chemical reactions leads to a deeper understandign of chemical equilibrium and a quantitative treatment of reaction systems. The balance of opposing reactions in chemical equilibrium systems also has issues relating to commercial/industrial production. (25%)
Unit 2: Acids & Bases: Acids and bases have an effect on aqueous systems. Many acid-base systems involve proton transfer and are described quantitatively. There are several ways of defining acids and bases. (30%)
Unit 3: Thermochemistry: Study of the energy changes that occur with physical and chemical processes. The study of energy production and the application of chemical change related to practical situations has helped society to progress. (25%)
Unit 4: Electrochemistry: Matter is electrical in nature. When an electrical potential is applied between electrodes placed in a solution of ions, ions migrate to oppositely charged electrodes and chemical reactions take place. Quantitative aspectes of this electrolysis are important in analytical chemistry and the chemcial industry. (20%)
