Dr.
Monalisa Mohapatra's notes deal with advanced topics of chemistry, such as
dilute solutions, homogeneous equilibrium, chemical kinetics, and
thermodynamics. The notes also discuss the second law of thermodynamics and help
the students understand the fundamental principles that govern energy exchanges
in chemical reactions. The resource further introduces the students to
thermochemistry, where it discusses the flow of heat and energy during chemical
reactions. It is excellent for intermediate to advanced students, making it
clear how different chemical processes relate to one another and the
thermodynamic principles underlying them. This makes this the solid backbone for
those pursuing more in-depth studies in chemistry.
This is an introduction to chemistry for
new starters, taking the basic principles and core topics of chemistry. Starting
with an excellent introduction to atoms, molecules, and ions, then key ideas
such as chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and the mole concept, these are just
a few ideas that come up. The text covers other critical subjects such as
chemical bonding, solutions, acids and bases, and chemical equilibrium among
others. It stands highly recommended for any student commencing their chemistry
course due to the lucid way its concepts, examples, and applications are put
forth to ensure easy understanding of the concepts and their underlying
principles.
