This
module is the second half of the basic first year University course in
chemistry. In the first half of the basic first year course i.e.,
General chemistry, module 1, we examined the concepts that underpin
matter and measurement, atomic structure and periodicity. In this module
we will look more closely at chemical reactions and the energy laws
that govern them. Most chemical reactions and virtually all biological
processes take place not between pure solids, liquids or gases, but
rather among ions and molecules dissolved in water or other solvents
(i.e. in solution). In this module we will therefore examine the various
types of solutions and their properties and discuss some introductory
aspects of organic chemistry.
