Foundations of Chemistry: Mole Concept & Redox Reactions

Struggling to make sense of the mole or balance complex redox reactions? These topics are fundamental to all of chemistry, but can be a major hurdle for learners. This course demystifies them with clear, step-by-step text-based lessons. You will develop a solid conceptual understanding and the practical skills to solve a wide range of chemical calculation problems. By the end of this course, you'll be able to confidently tackle stoichiometry and electrochemistry questions, setting you up for success in further science studies. What you'll learn: - Understand the mole concept and its relationship to mass, particles, and Avogadro's number. - Apply stoichiometric principles to calculate reactants and products in chemical reactions. - Determine oxidation states and identify oxidizing and reducing agents. - Balance complex redox reactions using the half-reaction and oxidation number methods. - Analyze the components and function of basic electrochemical cells. - Solve quantitative problems involving molarity, solution concentrations, and limiting reactants. The course starts with core definitions and builds progressively, introducing concepts with clear examples and practice opportunities. You'll begin with the fundamentals of the mole before advancing to the rules and applications of redox reactions. This course is designed for absolute beginners in chemistry or anyone needing a thorough refresher. No prior experience is required, just a willingness to learn.
