Professor Sylvia Ceyer begins by adding and subtracting half-cell reactions (a continuation of her prior lecture on oxidation/reduction). The Nernst Equation is introduced, which can be used to determine the equilibrium reduction potential of a half cell in an electrochemical cell.
This is an introductory chemistry course, emphasizing basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. This course also introduces the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules.
