• Unit 6: Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics

    In this unit, we will take a look at energy as it relates to chemistry and chemical reactions. We will study both thermochemistry, which deals with the temperature- and heat-related aspects of chemistry, and thermodynamics, which focuses on the overall energies associated with chemical reactions. Thermodynamics will ultimately lead us to the Gibbs free energy equation, which can tell us whether any chemical reaction is spontaneous or not (i.e., whether it occurs by itself, without any external help).

    Completing this unit should take you approximately 14 hours.
