Module Description
This module explores three fundamental areas of chemistry: Chemical Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, and Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds. It is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of these essential concepts, which are crucial for a deeper grasp of chemical reactions and organic chemistry.
- Chemical Kinetics: This section delves into the study of reaction rates and the factors that influence them and the influence of temperature on reaction rates. Through experiments and theoretical models, students will gain insights into the mechanisms of chemical reactions.
- Chemical Equilibrium: In this part of the module, students will explore the dynamic nature of chemical equilibrium, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The module covers the equilibrium constant (K), Le Chatelier’s Principle, and the effects of concentration, temperature, and pressure on equilibrium positions. Students will also learn to calculate equilibrium concentrations and understand the concept of the reaction quotient (Q).
- Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds: This section introduces students to important classes of organic compounds containing oxygen, such as alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The module covers the structure, nomenclature, physical properties, and chemical reactivity of these compounds. Special attention is given to the functional groups and their role in determining the behavior of organic molecules.
Throughout the module, students will engage in hands-on laboratory experiments, problem-solving sessions, and discussions to reinforce their understanding of the concepts. By the end of this module, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze chemical reactions, understand equilibrium systems, and appreciate the diversity and significance of oxygen-containing organic compounds in everyday life.
Course Objective
By he end of this module, students will be able to:
- Analyze the factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions, including concentration, temperature, catalysts, and the nature of reactants.
- Describe the concept of chemical equilibrium, its characteristics, and how equilibrium constants (K) express the balance between reactants and products in reversible reactions.
- Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds: Identify the structure, properties, and reactions of key oxygen-containing organic compounds, such as alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids.
