This lecture covers redox reactions, where oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. It explains the roles of reducing and oxidizing agents, half reactions, redox couples, and how to balance redox reactions in both acidic and basic solutions. The instructor also introduces chemical thermodynamics, focusing on energy changes in chemical reactions and predicting spontaneity.
