Today I taught my second lesson of the General Chemistry I course for first year bachelor students in mechanical engineer at ETH Zurich.
Topic of the day: Chemical Thermodynamics - Part I.
I introduced the concept of Enthalpy, Endothermic and Exothermic processes, Calorimetry and the Hess’s law.
It is time now to … Continue Reading ››
