UC Davis: Chem 4B General Chemistry for Majors II
This text is designed for the second-semester general chemistry course honors course and has been developed to meet the scope and sequence of most general chemistry courses. The text materials covers three primary units: Thermodynamics, Physical Equilibria and Chemical Equilibria with seven Chapters. The organization was careful formulated to introduce enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy, and then use these skills to understand physical and chemical equilibria.
