Learning Outcomes
- assign oxidation states, balance and apply concepts of free energy to redox equations.
- identify different types of acids and bases.
- solve problems in aqueous equilibrium and acid/base chemistry, and apply concepts of free energy to the equilibrium reactions.
- explain how temperature, pressure and other atmospheric conditions affect reaction equilibria and kinetics.
- describe the fundamental properties of solids, liquids and gases and phase transformations between them.
- have a working knowledge of basic laboratory techniques, such as titrations and pH measurements.
- articulate and follow ethical principles in a laboratory context.
- connect chemical principles to real-world problems by analyzing scientific data related to a problem of societal or technological concern.
