Course details

Who should do this course?

This course is designed for anyone interested in learning more about thermodynamics.

What are the course deliverables?

Calculate pressures, temperatures and volumes of gases and gas mixtures, and how these will respond to changing conditions

Explain the underlying basic physics of gas molecules and their related properties

Describe the relationship between thermodynamic properties such as energy, pressure and temperature

Calculate the amounts, in moles and mass, of chemical substances based on their gaseous properties

Compare gases in ideal and non-ideal (more realistic) conditions to improve the accuracy of calculations

Demonstrate whether a chemical reaction will happen based on its energetic properties and temperature

Classify chemical reactions as endothermic or exothermic, predict whether they increase or decrease in entropy, and then finally predict and classify reactions as spontaneous or non-spontaneous

More about this course

In this course, you'll get to grips with the ideal and non-ideal conditions for thermodynamics.
You'll consider how these conditions inform what we know about energy and how they can help us predict whether a chemical reaction will happen.
You'll learn how to calculate the amounts, in moles and mass, of chemical substances, and compare gases in ideal and non-ideal conditions to improve calculation accuracy.
You'll also learn how to predict a chemical reaction based on energetic properties and temperature, classify reactions as endothermic or exothermic, and predict and classify reactions as spontaneous or nonspontaneous.
