Syllabus
WEEK 1
Kinetics
The study of chemical kinetics is the study of change over time. It answers questions like:
How fast are reactants consumed?
How fast are products formed?
This unit is dedicated to the exploration of how these questions are answered. We will look at the experi...

WEEK 2
Chemical Equilibrium
This unit introduces the concept of chemical equilibrium and how it applies to many chemical reactions. The quantitative aspects of equilibrium are explored thoroughly through discussions of the law of mass action as well as the relationship between equilibriu...

WEEK 3
Acid-Base Equilibria
The concept of equilibrium is applied to acid and base solutions. To begin, the idea of weak acids and bases is explored along with the equilibrium constants associated with their ionization in water and how the value of the equilibrium constant is associated...

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent content and delivery!
This course has many well-explained examples and practice questions to reinforce the understanding of the taught concepts. Thank you!
the aqueous equilibria should have been increased to 2 weeks
The video is a really good step-by-step guideline of advanced chemistry. If you already have a good foundation, though, this may be too slow for you. Nevertheless, great teachers and awesome resources for learners to enrich their understanding on the domain of chemistry and its applications.
