Chem 30 Outline

1. Reaction Kinetics
  What can we do to promote or inhibit a chemical reaction. What drives chemical reactions?
2. Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
  How do we determine a combination of chemicals will react? Introduce the concept of Enthalpy, Entropy, Free
  Energy, and the system in equilibrium.
3. Equilibrium
  Explore methods to promote the reactant or product side of a system in equilibrium. Calculation of the amount
  of products and reactants at equilibrium given initial values.
4. Solutions and Solubility
  Determination of whether a solid will dissolve through use of the solubility chart and/or equilibrium calculations.
5. Acid-Base Equilibrium
  Calculation of pH strength through equilibrium calculations. Study differences between weak acids/bases, and
  those which are considered strong.
6. Oxidation and Reduction
  A nice way to finish off the semester as it is the easiest topic we will cover. Who has lost electrons, who has
  gained through the LEO GER trick. http://www.dlt.ncssm.edu/TIGER/Flash/Stoich/SingleDisp_Reaction-MetalToMetal.html
