These resources are labeled by topic and chapter number from the OpenStax Chemistry 2e Textbook. Note that the field and study of chemistry also uses Algebra. Within various chapters, there will be links to appropriate algebra topics. If you would like to see all algebra topics or tips on using your calculator, those links can be found at the bottom of this page.
Kinetics helps us to answer questions such as: how much time will it take for this reaction to happen? After 20 minutes, how much product will form? When will half of the initial reactant be used up? If we double the amount of one reactant, how will this impact the rate of the reaction? If we decrease the temperature by a few degrees, how much will this impact the rate of the reaction? What are the individual collisions that occur to cause products to form in this reaction? How does adding a catalyst change this reaction? To view the chapter 12 resources, click here.
Equilibrium helps us answer questions such as: at what point does this reaction stop? At what ratio of products to reactants is the reaction most stable? How many products and reactants are present when the reaction stops? To view the chapter 13 resources, click here.
Acids and bases are important throughout biology, materials, analytical chemistry, and many more areas of STEM. To view the chapter 14 resources, click here.

Thermochemistry is the study of heat and its relation to chemical reactions. To view the chapter 16 resources, click here.
Electrochemistry, in a sense, is electron movement. The study of electrochemistry is what makes the computer/tablet/phone you are looking at this website possible. Electrochemical reactions are also called redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions. These are reactions in which elements change their oxidation state from the reactants to the products.
