Chemistry and Electrochemistry

This lecture covers topics related to chemistry and electrochemistry, including chemical potential, stoichiometric coefficients, reaction advancement, reaction rates, Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, material balance, chemical dissipation, volume, entropy, enthalpy, osmosis, and more. The instructor discusses various experiments, such as the explosion of nitrogen triiodide and the combustion of methanol, to illustrate key concepts. The lecture also delves into the analogy between force and chemical affinity, equilibrium in chemical reactions, Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and the law of Hess. Additionally, it explores the concepts of material balance, chemical dissipation, and the molar properties of volume, entropy, and enthalpy.
