Chemistry
Course Description:
This chemistry course will equip you with a foundational understanding of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, from the simplest alkanes to the most complex biomolecules, while also exploring the chemical processes that shape our planet and beyond.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Classify hydrocarbons into alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and benzene based on their molecular structures and bonding types.
- Write balanced chemical equations for the combustion of at least five different alkanes and use stoichiometry to calculate the mass of products formed.
- Construct models of at least two simple alkanols and two alkanoic acids, correctly identifying their functional groups.
- Explain the formation of acid rain by describing the chemical reactions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere and connecting this process to its environmental impact.
- Differentiate between the primary structures of carbohydrates and proteins by sketching their basic monomer units (monosaccharides and amino acids) and peptide/glycosidic linkages
