Purpose
To give the freshmen engineering students a background on the structure of matter, stoichiometry,
chemical reactions in solutions, properties of gases and solutions, thermodynamics, kinetics and
reaction rates, and chemical equilibria. To show the students how nature behaves around us, and
how scientific method is applied to understand nature. Most importantly, this course aims to teach
the students how to approach problems in a step-by-step fashion, which can be applied to any type
of problem in chemistry or in any other field of science and/or engineering.
Nature of energy, conservation of energy, chemical, kinetic, and potential energies, enthalpy, calorimeter, Hess’ law, heat of
reaction, standard heat of formation, present sources of energy, new energy sources.
