Chemistry: Basic Principles Part 2

After completing this course the participant should be able to:Topic 1: Chemical Reactions * Identify three common types of chemical reactions. * Define the following terms: chemical equation and chemical reaction. * Use a chemical equation to explain what occurs during a simple chemical reaction. * Define endothermic and exothermic in terms of their application to chemical reactions. * Explain how a combustion reaction occurs. * Explain how a replacement reaction occurs. * Explain how a neutralization reaction occurs. * Explain how the acidity or basicity of a liquid is measured. Topic II: Material Balancing * Explain what material balancing is. * Identify the steps involved in balancing the materials represented in simple equation. * Given the actual weight of one material in a reaction use the relative weights of the atoms in the reaction * to determine the actual weights the other materials involved. Topic III: Organic Chemistry * Define organic chemistry. * Explain how some organic chemicals are named.
