Learning Objectives

The Learning Objectives of this course are as follows:

● The objective of this paper is to develop basic understanding of the chemical energetics,
laws of thermodynamics and ionic equilibrium. It provides basic understanding of the
behaviour of electrolytes and their solutions.
● The students will also learn about the properties of ideal and real gases and deviation
from ideal behaviour.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

● Understand the laws of thermodynamics, thermochemistry and equilibria.


● Understand concept of pH and its effect on the various physical and chemical properties
of the compounds.
● Use the concepts learnt to predict feasibility of chemical reactions and to study the
behaviour of reactions in equilibrium.
