This lecture covers fundamentals of chemical kinetics and thermodynamics, mainly as a review. Thermodynamic laws, electrochemical reactions, and acid-base reactions are covered. The thermodynamic discussion relates to Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constants. Kinetic discussion related to its use in data analysis Emphasis of the lectures is applied to information useful for speciation modeling. Calculations and models for speciation are discussed. Equilibrium modeling using EXCEL and the program CHESS are presented.
Finished the lecture and quiz. The excel and chess programs provide a lot of information, but the rest of the lecture was a good review of thermodynamic equations and constants.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear about the review. I always like to build upon previous knowledge.
DeleteLecture and Quiz completed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quiz!
DeleteThanks for the quiz!
DeleteJust finished the quiz and lecture! Jchess seems like a really cool program and extremely useful. I also found the slide on the limitations of K_sp a really good addition. The limitations of equations are so often skipped over (although they really do matter)
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments. I believe it is important to know when some concepts begin to fail.
DeleteJust finished the quiz and lecture. It was nice seeing a lot of review on kinetics and thermodynamics being incorporated with the newer information!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear this was a review, as it is meant to be.
DeleteDone with lecture and quiz. Great review of thermodynamics speciation and the chess program is powerful and useful.
ReplyDeleteI think CHESS and similar programs are terrific tools for chemists.
DeleteCHESS and similar programs are terrific tools for chemists.
DeleteI have completed and submitted the quiz. Seeing the old material from gen chem being applied to these nuclear materials is nice after focusing on their physical properties.
ReplyDeleteAwesome to hear that these former lectures are reinforced.
DeleteI think this has been the easiest one so far. I just remember a lot of this from Quantitative Analysis. And all of the questions on the PDF Quiz were literally in the video.
ReplyDeleteThanks. This is really the first full chemistry lecture in the course, so the material is familiar and comfortable.
DeleteFinished the lecture and just submitted the quiz. It was nice to be able to relate this material with concepts from gen chem.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Your comments are a common thread for this lecture.
DeleteI finished the quiz and lecture on Monday I think. Sorry for the delay in commenting! This quiz was good. Probably because I'm a Chem major. It was good review too. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI finished the lecture and quiz when it was due sorry for late responses again, I had a chance to play around with the excel files and tried them for different reactions, it was interesting
