Introductory Chemistry Resúmenes

Class notes: Review of redox reactions, oxidation states for different elements based on priority with examples, cell potential, steps to calculating the cell potential of a redox reaction, balancing redox reactions using the half-reaction method, balancing redox reactions in acidic solutions, electrochemistry (production of an electric current through a redox reaction), electrodes and their types, salt bridges, dry cell batteries (acid and alkaline batteries), corrosion, electrolysis

Class notes on energy, temperature and heat, thermodynamics, endothermic and exothermic processes, enthalpy and entropy, Hess's Law, and various worked-out practice problems.

Class notes on properties of acids and bases, vocab, conjugate acid-base pairs, acid strength, types of reactions, water as an acid and base, pH of salts (product of strong acids and strong base, strong acid and weak base, etc), buffered solutions, neutralization reactions, balancing and writing net ionic reactions for an acid-base reaction, titrations, etc.

Class notes on different gas laws from Boyle, Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, combined gas law, kinetic molecular theory, diffusion, partial pressures, and more. The second part of these notes focus on heating and cooling curves (freezing, melting, evaporation, etc) and phase diagrams.

Introductory chemistry class notes on molar mass, moles to particles to mass conversions, empirical and molecular formulas, and other calculations.

Summary from the Introductory Chemistry textbook of useful nomenclature, naming systems, prefixes, common cation and anions, and acids to remember
