At the end of the course, the student should be able to
1. understand the nature of energy, its various forms and the energy changes that occur
during chemical reactions
2. relate the change in internal energy to heat and work and differentiate the heat of the
reaction measured at constant pressure (change in enthalpy) and constant volume
(change in internal energy)
3. relate the First Law of Thermodynamics to the study of thermochemistry
4. correctly write rate expressions and rate laws for reactions and determine the order
of the reactions given experimental data
5. show how the factors like concentrations, temperature, the process by which the
reaction takes place and the presence of a catalyst influence the rate of the reaction
6. understand the concept of equilibrium and predict how the position of an equilibrium
state is affected by factors such as concentration, temperature, etc.
7. calculate equilibrium constants and equilibrium concentrations
8. differentiate Arrhenius, Bronsted and Lewis definitions of acids and bases
9. understand the concept of pH and use it as a measure of the acidity of a solution
10. write ionization equations and calculate the equilibrium concentration of weak acids
and weak bases
11. describe the acidic and basic properties of salts
12. identify and balance redox reactions
13. calculate cell potentials and predict direction of redox reactions from the cell
potential data.

from Him comes knowledge and understanding. He provides help and protection for righteous,
honest men. He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to Him”
